“I search for thrill in my characters because I am a boring person.'”

“The kind of attention I get is way beyond my comprehension.”

“Considering that I am playing Mahadev, I need to look fit all the time. To achieve this, I workout six days a week.”

“I have made peace with the fact that Mahadev is going to be with me forever. The character had a universal appeal.”

“A person should have positive attitude in his life and it will thus reflect on a healthy lifestyle.”

“I am sure the audience that looks on me as a Mahadev knows that at the end of the day, I am an actor playing a God. But that doesn't exonerate me from a social responsibility.”

“'Kaafir' is an eight-episode series; but while shooting, you really don't know which part is for which episode.”

“For me, playing Mahadev has been the biggest challenge, honor and satisfaction.”

“I work for creative satisfaction. It's my hunger for good work that motivates me to explore.”

“Both mythology and history interest me.”

“When I was in college, the Kargil War had just happened, and I remember going with my friends on a bike to collect empty shells.”

“I'm a very boring person.”

“My marriage will happen when Almighty sends a message.”

“I didn't want to miss the chance of working in a film like Uri.'”

“There was a lot of unlearning to be done when I moved from TV to films.”

“Dharma Productions' films are mounted on a grand scale; a TV show cannot match it.”

“Period dramas have their own challenges. One must work hard to ensure that you don't just embrace the character you are playing, you also have to understand the smaller nuances of the period to deliver an authentic experience.”

“I used to plan a lot. I have stopped planning after 'Mahadev.'”

“Initially when I was working on TV, people would ask why I'm not trying for films. My reply was that I was enjoying TV and had no reason to shift.”
