“My whole outlook towards women changed after 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania.' I am a boy who is brought up in Mumbai, and I believe I am open-minded. But I realised that there were so many things my mind was not expanded to.”

“It's not easy to put a smile on people's faces.”

“I do a mix and match of many exercises. But before anything I do, I go for a warm up, as it of prime importance.”

“It's true that I am surrounded by beautiful women in the movies. But the romance is only on screen.”

“If given a chance, I would like to work with Surender Reddy.”

“The word 'star' is misused. A good film will never fail. And if you have become an actor to become a star, then your reason of being in this profession is wrong. It amounts to abusing the art.”

“Filmmaking is a very serious job, and I want to concentrate on that.”

“I have this dream of directing. But as a child, I wanted to become a wrestler. Like, in childhood, we used to watch WWF; I was inspired by all of that. One of my favourite wrestlers was Rock, who has become an actor.”

“I am growing with my audience. When I made my debut, I was 24, and they have grown up with me. They are with me with each choice of mine.”

“I want to make sure that people feel it's okay to make a mistake, to have a bad hair day, to look bad sometimes. It takes the pressure off them.”

“I am always excited to be an actor. If I wasn't, I would be acting, and the audience wouldn't watch me.”

“My dad has always been vocal about critically appreciating me. If I have done a bad job, he will definitely try to correct me with his inputs.”

“I am protecting my personal life because for me, that's my sanctity. When I am done with shooting and home, that's my reality check.”

“For me, the driving force is the audience, and the day that stops, I will stop doing films. The day a part of me stops feeling like putting a smile on someone else's face or if I feel like I don't want to entertain anymore, then I will pack up and leave.”

“My trainer is very helpful in keeping me fit.”

“I am a huge fan of shows like 'Breaking Bad,' 'Dexter,' 'The Mentalist.'”

“I have a large heart, and there are many special people in my heart like my mom, my dad and brother and his wife.”

“Superstars in every era have come from outside the industry, and that will continue to happen because cinema is nobody's birthright.”

“My dream role would be a role that is entertaining and 'massy,' and it should be able to make people laugh and cry and make the audience scared of me and then make them fall in love with me again.”

“Although there is a beast in all of us, we don't show it often. But it is very liberating to be that angry at times. Given a chance, I'm sure people would like to go on a rampage and break everything.”
