“I think an excess of anything is bad, be it mobile phones, social media, private tuitions or watching television.”

“I spend Diwali in Delhi because it's such a big festival.”

“If you want to live a fulfilling life, then you have to do something that motivates you and also earns you a living.”

“I remember how as I kid I would love stories of every kind - whether they were narrated in school or what I read in books. Storytelling would always appeal to me, I would take part in poetry reciting, dramatics, choreography and debates. There was this fascination for performance, which finally culminated in a professional sphere.”

“My father was in the Air Force, so I travelled all over India. I was born in Delhi.”

“Film is a medium where the audience gives you 100 per cent.”

“In real life I'm shy sometimes, sometimes I'm romantic, sometimes I can be funny, so it's great to be doing different kinds of parts that expose your personality.”

“I am a huge optimist.”

“I get the feeling that audiences have become mature and they understand that not every character is in black or white. There can be grey shades to it.”

“In 'Chhichhore,' I play the most layered and fun character.”

“I look forward to parts that have a dimension or depth to them. This makes it interesting for me to do and the audience to watch. Whether he's a chocolate boy die hard romantic or a gangster with swag, every good has a little bad and every bad has a little good in them.”
