“I would do theatre till I die. Theatre keeps your honesty alive. You can't pollute yourself. You learn a lot, and you use theatre techniques in life.”
“I always try that my next film is different than my last movie. I would like to surprise my audience; that, I think, is the job of an actor.”
“In 'Maaya,' I'm going shirtless for the first time in my career. My producer requested me to take off my shirt in one of the scenes. I have been working extremely hard to flaunt a perfect body for the scene.”
“Don't look at a person - look into the person. Heart is the hero, not the colour. I don't stand against or for any colour; I just believe in endorsing the idea of not endorsing any colour.”
“I have learnt three things from Barry John which are applicable to life, too: Don't expect anything from another actor, one shouldn't judge, and one shouldn't block things.”
“I like Bejoy's style of movie making, and the music is always so good in all his movies.”
“I have lost close to 20 kilos, and it has kind of helped prepare my character for 'Sanam Teri Kasam.'”
“I am a big-structured guy, and so I always felt my weight was justified until I chanced upon Cavemen's diet.”
“It's a misconception that all singers need to portray a messed up, dirty look to prove their identity.”
“My life has been pretty unconventional. The publishers saw a story in it, and yes, my life has been put in a book.”
“I had to go on the strict caveman diet where you eat only vegetables, chicken, and egg whites. This diet in many ways sounds right to me, and it has worked wonderfully.”
“Any passionate actor, if he is spoon-fed, will deliver.”
“As an actor, all I can keep my focus on is that I am a part of good projects.”
“As an actor, I want to do something I will be remembered for. I think 'Maaya' is that kind of film.”
“My father was like an unpolished diamond - tough outside but warm inside.”
“Shah Rukh Khan is a self-made man, and he does inspire with what he does. It is foolish to think that one can try and imitate or modify what he does. I have been original in my performances so far.”
“Everything about 'Avunu 2' will be many notches higher than its prequel. The sequel is scarier, and there'll be more thrills and chills. I myself felt it when I was shooting.”
“'Sanam Teri Kasam' is definitely my best Bollywood debut.”
“I was shooting for 'Maaya' when I got a call from John Abraham's office. They told me about the film and asked if I could audition. But since I was shooting, I recorded my audition and sent them the tapes. The next thing I know, I was on board.”
“There's a misconception that actors with no background don't get any exposure from big production houses. I think people should start rethinking about it.”
