Actor

I am not really a cook as such, but I have lived a bachelor life when I first came to Mumbai, so at times I have had to cook for myself for basic survival.

Acting takes inspiration from all the allied fields - be it diction, dancing, reading, narrating, I try to imbibe all those things to perfect my acting skills.

I love reading any interesting book. If it is boring I keep it forever after reading 4-5 pages of it. But if it is good, I can go on reading it no matter what genre it belongs to.

My childhood was not great but not that bad either. I've always had a loving and caring mother with me.

When I came to Mumbai, I was just 19 years old and did the TV show, 'Remix'. Thereafter, I just fell in love with acting.

I want to learn how to speak Urdu. I find it very interesting and soothing to ears. It is very poetic too.

I love reading any interesting book. If it is boring I keep it forever after reading 4-5 pages of it. But if it is good, I can go on reading it no matter what genre it belongs to.

I have been following Buddhism since 11 years now. I love the sound of chanting.

My suggestion to everyone would be to marry someone as long as you really want to get married and not for any other reason. If you agree to get hitched for some other reason and it doesn't materialise, then it just turns into a sad story.

In India every child is passionate about dancing. Every state has its dance forms. I used to love bhangra in Delhi.

I don't want to limit myself to a genre, language or a particular industry. I will do anything interesting that comes to me.

I think 'Maharbharat' was the turning point of my career. If not very smoothly, my career did move in a much better way.

I would be on top of the world if 'Remix' comes back. I wasn't playing a central character in it but it was my first show. It brought me to Mumbai and will always be special.

I never thought I would get into acting. I was studying computer applications in Delhi and that was when I got selected for my first TV show and came to Mumbai.

My first thought is to be on set on time. I do not like to be late.

Watching 'Mahabharat' and 'Mahakali' on screen after so long really got me nostalgic! It was honestly wonderful and an emotional moment to relive those memories from both the shows I have been part of while watching their very first episodes all over again.

I think I don't get angry so often after marriage. This is primarily because initially when I used to get angry over things, it would make Ridhima unhappy and I can't see her not smiling.

I think god is singular and exists everywhere and for everyone.

Yes, I would love to step outside the costume drama category and play a young urbanite, something closer to who I am.

I feel that when you are passionate about what you do, money will follow. If money becomes the primary factor, passion goes down the drain.
