You have to make enough noise to be cast in the right films, and the best way to make that noise is to do lots of good work.

Everyone wants to be famous; so do I. But I cannot lose sleep over it.

We had a great dramatic society in school, and that's where I first got exposure both as an actor and director.
captain department enjoy excel figured fun great life love plays rest theatre work
We had a great dramatics department in school, so I did a lot of plays and theatre there. Later, when I was the captain of our student's ward, I figured out that if you find something you really love to do, you don't have to work for the rest of your life! You can just have fun and still excel in it because you enjoy what you do.
I don't have a set image. In fact, I would be curious to know how someone slots me.
half mind
I wouldn't mind going half naked on stage, if that is what my role demands.
animal asked bus conductor five four hardly hop seeing strangest ticket village
I would often take this bus and go to a nearby village where I had hordes of animal friends. I was hardly around four or five years old then. The conductor was so used to seeing me hop on to the bus and get down at the same place, that he never asked any questions. The strangest part is, he never asked for a ticket either!

Sex appeal is a good thing for commercial cinema. Though I can't sit at home and consider myself a sex symbol, it is for people to do so. I want to be known as an interesting actor.

My family is my biggest critic. Since they come from a non-filmi background, they give me an audience's point of view. They have been very supportive of me.
love opposite restricted
Love can never make you weak, and love is not restricted to opposite sex. I love my parents, I love my animals, and I love my profession.
artist attracts bollywood purity strike turns
There is a sense of purity in theatre which always attracts me. Deep down, I feel I am more of an artist than a commodity, which Bollywood turns you into. I want to strike a balance.
industry ladies men race rider seen superior though women
I think I'm the only professional horse rider from the movie industry. Strangely, I've seen no men from the industry at equestrian events. Though I've seen some ladies like Diya Mirza and Lara Dutta at the race course. Women, by the way, make superior horse riders.
widely
I think 'method acting' is a widely abused term.
hard overrated people pompous underrated
I think it would be pompous to say I am an underrated actor. I don't think it is for me to think and decide; it is for people to decide. But I am glad I am underrated than being overrated - that is something I would find hard to digest.
