I wasn't very good in academics, but I could have been if I could have studied well. I was a smart kid.
Endorsements are a reward for good performance on the field, and the commitments made after signing them need to be done.
My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.
Good Punjabi music before a match pumps me up. It gives me a kick.
As a kid, even I knew everything about my favourite cricketers. I used to know everything possible. Now I see kids knowing about me. It feels good.
My shopping habits... I am not very brand-conscious about clothes. I buy whatever looks good on me. Likewise, I don't just shop only in malls or high-end stores.
I don't really focus on these things - on what tags are given to me or what people think of me off the field - stuff like that. My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.
I want my wardrobe to be full of good clothes, so that when I'm deciding what to wear, I don't run out of options. I love shopping!
You just feel a little odd when you don't get your kind of food. Fortunately, there are Indian restaurants all over the world.
I'm not someone who sits at home and doesn't like to go out, doesn't like to watch movies. I like to live my life.
I'm not a nerd, don't plan to be a nerd and read books - which I can't do at all.
I'm a big fan of Aamir Khan... Among actresses, I like Aishwarya Rai.
I really want a movie made on Sachin Tendulkar's life. That is something I'm looking forward to. There will be so much emotion to that movie.
I love playing under pressure. In fact, if there's no pressure, then I'm not in the perfect zone.
