Actor

I get by with power naps.

I have prepared for every film of mine like it is my last.

I have been a shy guy throughout my life.

I like experimenting and picking up trends from across the world.

Sometimes fans land up at my home. Some time ago an 80-year-old lady from Chandigarh came home and wrote off her property to me. I had to hire legal help to get rid of the unwanted gift.

Speaking out to your close ones, even if it is over the phone, is the right way to relieve stress and further amplify the same relief by meditation.

It generally happens that when actors do mythology shows, they get typecast, but it didnt happen with me.

Yoga is one of my preferred workouts, because it benefits my mind as well as my body.

'Paltan' is a very special film to me.

I am a fitness lover; I believe a healthy body leads to a healthy mind and that's why I believe in being regular with exercise every day.

Post 'Geet,' I thought I would not work for at least six months, but when 'Punar Vivaah' came to me, I couldn't refuse.

I have started my career with roles where all I needed to mouth was 1 line. That's how I began on TV.

Today, if I am a successful actor it is all because of my first show 'Ramayan.' The show has helped me bag my first Bollywood film, 'Khamoshiyan.'

I won't work with an unknown banner or director. I want to work with good, known people so my efforts can be noticed.

I always want to work with a good director who's backed by excellent producers.

I had achieved a lot on TV and I wanted to do a film. And during that time I was told many that 'you are a TV star, when people can watch you for free on TV who will buy a ticket to watch you on screen?' I faced it a lot.

There's also been a time when I had become the highest paid TV actor of all time. I could have stayed in my comfort zone, making crores with serials. But I always wanted to act in films.

Obviously I will try to do 4 films a year, but more than quantity, quality is what matters to me.

I have been watching Salman's films since childhood.

I love performing stunts; the more dangerous they are, the more I am driven.
