“People have a very short attention span when it comes to television, but nobody forgets the movie you do.”

“In 2012, when I left MTV, irregular income started.”

“I think I am filled with excitement when it comes to doing films.”

“There is no point in taking yourself too seriously.”

“I want to evolve with my performances. Consistency is really important. Having said that, I generally don't try too hard.”

“I want to do more new-age content, look beyond conventional cinema.”

“It is good to be a young father, a young parent. You have that energy, and you are growing up with them.”

“A good script can come from anywhere.”

“I don't watch a lot of movies. I watch theatre, read books, and observe life.”

“Nobody tells you that they don't believe in you. I had tremendous self-belief and faith in my sensibilities.”

“I am a passionate actor, but I am also very practical.”

“I was very nervous as a child and had stage fright.”

“I am not in every picture I post, and my social media is not only for film promotions. I don't feel comfortable with that. Yes, I'll post something promotional now and then, but rest of the time, it is like any other social media account.”

“It feels great that with the film choices I have been making have been quite radical and different. I am glad they are commercially working.”

“An actor's off-screen persona should never overshadow his on-screen characters.”

“It is a conscious choice to go for content-driven scripts because that is the key for any film to work. There are no two ways about it, and I have always been attracted to great content.”

“Aparshakti has his own journey, and as a sibling, I can only wish him good luck. I would also love to work with him as an actor.”

“If I were a star kid, I wouldn't have tried so many things. I would have done theatre and directly joined movies. I did radio and TV shows because I had to carve my own way. Outsiders like me have to reach Bollywood through modelling, theatre, or radio.”

“I'm glad I've established this as my zone: 'the taboo breaker.'”

“I started pretty young: I did my first reality show when I was 17. Then came 'Roadies' in 2004, when I was 19.”
