My ambition when I was four years old was to be married.
For me exotic means beaches, palm trees and sand and frolicking in the ocean
I was also told some years ago that I shouldn't 'waste my time' with female-centric films because the audience was not ready for it.
The joy of creating is the truest joy.
I live cinema and passionately love music, and my efforts in both these crafts are unfolding.
Flying is my favorite time in the world. When I'm sitting in a plane, it's amazing because it's quiet and there's no cell phones and no one to talk to you. It's my favorite time. I read all my scripts. I catch up on my movies. I sleep. It's the best. There's no one telling you, "Time to go!"
There are cliques in Bollywood, and people stick together, but I have always tried to stick to my work. As an industry, Bollywood is very competitive, and I'm very competitive as a person, but I've never been a part of any clique, and I've always worked with all actors and directors, all camps.
I am just a hard-working 23-year-old. When Maxim asked me to be on their cover, I was quite surprised. Of course, I was happy about it.
I love dabbling in different genres, and I like being good at different genres of cinema.
I don't like guys who are conventional. I'm an achiever; he has to be an achiever. I admire drive, I admire ambition. I like a guy who keeps my on my toes.
I eat right and ensure that I burn it all by working out equally as much as I eat.
I don't enjoy being told what to do, I'm not that kind of actor, I'm a thinking actor.
People keep speculating about my personal life because I am evasive about it.
I owe 90 per cent of my life to people because I am a public figure, but 10 per cent is private to me. And I am not saying it in a defensive way. I feel my life has been made into a TV serial.
