I always wanted to learn how to play the guitar.

I didn't leave TV for films; I left it due to health issues. I wasn't keeping well, and I was losing weight due to the long working hours.

For me, as an actor, the challenge is mostly before the film starts when you have to get into the psychology of the character.

I am such a shy guy.

I never went to college. I started working when I was 17.

I have been blessed with good genes, and that's why, irrespective of how much I eat, I still retain my lean look.

I am not easy to break through to. There is a protective shield that I have built psychologically. I am not open to everyone as I have been to ones those who have broken through me. But once you break through, I will love anything that you do.

I signed 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon' only for a year. But the producer requested me to stay on, as the show had just started to make money. I carried on, and in the process, the character became very popular. When I finally gave up, changing the actor for that character was difficult, so the show ended.

I am not on social media, as I don't feel the need to communicate with the outside world. People who matter to me are just a call away.

I am very far away from being angry. I really don't get angry most of the time. I am a patient person.

People approach you for the work they have seen you do. I don't think people see me as a lover boy dancing around, so I haven't received a role of that kind. I'm going to do roles that appeal to me.

My wife knows that I love her too much, so she is fine with the intimate scenes I do. She also knows that only if my role justifies such a scene will I do it. She understands my work as an actor.

I was very, very naughty in school.

I am very bad at taking compliments. Even in school, when people told me that I look good, I could just manage an awkward thank you and a smile.

Whenever I don't have anything to do, I play Candy Crush or Scrabble. We actors have time between shots, which we need to kill. And we cannot call friends or family, as you are called at a moment's notice. So you need to do something which you can dispose of immediately when called for a shot.

Everyone has a different life story. Things happen rapidly for someone, and things move slowly for others.

I believe social media gives away a lot to people. I got this impression long time back when my friend was on Twitter, and he got trolled because he posted his opinion about something. He was very upset about it, as he didn't expect that people will reply in such a nasty way.

You can't change what time has in store for you, as the only constant that I've known is change.

A lot of amazing films are happening, a lot amazing TV shows are happening, and people are not afraid to pick actors instead of stars.

When I quit 'Iss Pyaar Ko Kyaa Naam Doon 1,' I left the show because I wanted to travel with my wife and spend time with her.

What I have noticed is that no two places in Calcutta are alike. I like the bylanes and the old places. This city has a lot of character.

I believe that everyone has a right to have an opinion about things or people, and fortunately, I have been lucky to have heard usually good things about myself. However, I must admit that people can be quite critical about your role also.
