It feels great when people talk about your craft and you get noticed for it.

I started very young as a hero.

I have been told that I was well-utilised in my first film, but I was too young.

Some people thought that I was crazy for declining a lot of offers while I was filming 'SKTKS,' but I have waited patiently because I knew I had a winning hand.

Being a part of 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety' has been a life-changing experience for me, and hopefully, I want to keep working hard in future as well.

People are appreciating my work, and it feels good when people like my work.

I want to be a commercially viable actor. I want that the distributors and producers should earn the money; then only, you become a bankable actor.

I want to do content-oriented plus commercial films.

I always try to pick up interesting scripts, and thankfully, I have been lucky to get scripts like 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama,' 'Akash Vaani', and 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety.'

I love the chocolate boy image. I love my heartthrob image.

I want to my films to make Rs 200 crore and Rs 300 crore also, but I have to be reasonable.

I cannot put pressure on myself that I have delivered a Rs 100 crore film and now I have to give it again or it will not be successful. Films that earn Rs 50 crore or Rs 60 crore are successful, too.

'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' is a universal concept. You can use different set of characters and put them in a situation like this again and again.

My fourth movie, 'PKP2,' is my biggest release and biggest success.

It is only when you become commercially viable that you actually get accepted by the industry.

Life is tough in Mumbai when you are alone.

I'm a fan of Adidas Originals. I love their Stan Smith collection.

I can't mix different sports brands together. I would never go to the gym wearing a Nike sweatshirt and Adidas shoes.

I am living my dream, basically.

I was offered a lot of romantic and comedy films.

'PKP' was a huge success, and even the sequel did well. I became very choosy after that.

My characters in both 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' films were so relatable that every other guy connects with me.

If you have talent, then success will come to you.

I don't fear being judged as a misogynist.

Would I do another 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety?' I'd do it as many times as Luv Ranjan wants me to.

More than my own happiness, it's my mother's happiness that makes me happy.

If I have to do 40 films like 'Punchnama,' I will take it up as long as I enjoy it.

Maybe girls think that I can never be in a relationship and I can only give advice to other men to not fall in love or get committed to a girl. But that's not true.

I am a reflection of my mother.

A lot of my friends ask me for advice.

All my characters have been relatable.

People think that I have figured it all out, at a young age, about love.

For 'Guest Iin London,' I got a lot of appreciation.

Personally, I'm a fan of comedy movies that I can watch with my friends and family.

In the beginning of our career, we want to make an identity, and I am happy that people think I have good comic timing, and they are casting me in films.

I think comedy is a genre that has a lot of potential. It is a very content-driven film genre.

Since in the end, as an actor, I cannot do much apart from giving my best on camera, I won't let myself be affected by the business of cinema.

There are films that look very interesting when on paper, but things change while shooting. At times, things changed during post-production, and I see no reason to blame anything on anyone. It is a collaborative effort. If it failed, we should face it.

Since two of my films of 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' series worked, people think I am good in such roles.

After 'King of Monologues,' now I'm loving the term 'Bromantic Hero.'

It is always good to perform with an actor who is good and inspires you to do better.

Shah Rukh Khan is an institution in himself. Like me, there are millions who adore and worship the Badshah of Bollywood. I've been a huge fan of him even before I decided to become an actor.

'Baazigar' was the movie which initiated my drift towards acting.

If I like a script, I will definitely pick films of different genres, but I won't do something just for the sake of it.

I believe in method acting. Whenever I'm working on a character, I start behaving like him. I start doing these things which the character would normally do. Maybe that's the way I function as an actor, and I believe in it. And that's how I try and portray a character.

My parents wanted me to get a degree.

The reason I am an actor is because I have faith in myself.

I never wanted to be an engineer.

My worst fear is to not able to understand what my director wants me to do. I might not be able to reciprocate to his idea or vision. I may not be able to perform before the camera. Those are my worst fears.
