Actor

I appreciate being known as 'best character' rather than as the 'best bad guy.'

One must say no to some opportunities to open the possibilities of others.

It's harder to scream at someone you just chatted with at lunch. I mean, if you're a superb actor, you might be able to do that, but I couldn't do it.

If I was lying on the side of the mountain, dying, would I have any regrets? Yeah. I would regret not making films.

When a film does well, everyone is usually happy and grateful, but for me, the impression the film leaves upon my mind is created during the process of filming; my memories are not a reflection of critics' reviews and box office figures.

I have done one or two plays in New York briefly.

Any actor who says that they don't want the attention, and that they're tired of all the interviews and photoshoots, are just pretending.

I am really tired of playing characters who don't care about people.

You have to do all kinds of things like voice-overs, corporate gigs, and edit videos to support yourself.

It occurred to me that actors are selfish, and they think that the world revolves around them. For one year, I quit, and I went to an ashram in Bihar and went to Himalayas backpacking.

I have a car, but I don't use it very much - only when I go for my shoots - so the carbon footprint is tiny.

I just do what I get cast in.

I acted all through school and college.

Sometimes, even when you aren't shooting, 25 percent of your brain is still with your character.

I've been doing plays ever since school. There's never really been a stop to it.

I am an eco-friendly person and a vegetarian.

It's nice to get compliments from both girls and guys.

My father was the captain of a cargo ship. When I was about two years old, we used to sail with him. The crew of his ship would dress me up in fancy dress and make me dance for them. I was a performing monkey!

I've been doing theatre for years, but film acting has broadened my horizon.

Be it films or shows or plays, it's the content that matters the most.
