Actor

I feel that adoption is a good idea to control population. This would also help orphaned children grow up in a normal way in a family atmosphere that is so important in today's time. The only thing you need is a large heart.

When someone like me takes a sabbatical, it leads to a few happy realisations. It was only when I was away that I realised how films are such a big part of my life.

Deep down that's all you really want. You may not like or be comfortable with certain forms of appreciation or love, but you do want it.

Everybody, and that includes an actor, wants to go to work everyday. That said, it's better to sit at home than do a bad film. That can harm your career more than not having a release!

I had some personal issues to sort out so I couldn't work for a while.

It is essential for artistes to have that release of creativity, almost as necessary as eating food or drinking water.

If you make an authentic political film, which talks of real people and real events, in a politically conscious country like India, it is but natural that people will react to it in different ways and there will be a collage of opinions.

Reading about myself on public platforms makes me uncomfortable. I don't like it. I read other people's interviews or articles, but when it comes to myself, if I see something about myself then I immediately turn over the page.

I do take my work very seriously, and I am first and foremost a very dedicated actor. I am also a very shy guy so you won't find me chatting or talking that much.

Even in my personal life, I can't bear to have bad feelings.

To have your films not liked or not watched or failed, is not an easy thing to handle.

Being single has its own advantages and it's a fun thing.

I haven't seen 'Himalay Putra' since the time it released. I can't say there is any special reason for not seeing it. But I don't watch my older films. It doesn't give me a kick.

When I am not acting, I am in depression, and then I do depression management.

I don't like to be always in the press, or on television or always be on seen. It is not how I like to lead my life.

I'm not cut out for that life; for sharing my life. Whether it's getting married, or having kids. That too drastically changes your life. Everything important to you becomes less important, because the child gains utmost importance.

I can't get married for the heck of it only because 'I'm not getting any younger.'

I've never consciously chased a particular kind of a film or role. I choose from what is offered.

David Dhawan is the best as far as Indian comedy films are concerned.

I keep myself busy, I read a lot, watch a lot of TV, and do a lot of gardening. I do stupid stuff and I love it.
