I am a fitness freak.

The problem with the film industry is that once one starts out as a villain, subsequent offers are those of similar roles.

Sculpting a body is different from fitness.

Padam Kumar is a technically sound director, very contemporary.

Take a walk in the park. It is not necessary to just go to a gym to stay fit.

I want to act in a film like 'The Pianist.'

I turned vegetarian because my wife was one, and wanted me to convert.

Vegetarianism is the best way of expressing love for animals.

My father was a cop.

After 'Champion,' I got like 20,000 psychopath roles! And they wanted me to strip and show my body in every film. But I have tried to balance my roles.

I gave importance to parenting over everything else and went back to Delhi. Now, when I had to make a comeback, 'Bigg Boss' was the best platform to give me that visibility.

While our social life is taken care of by the social media, fitness is one activity that needs a push.

We often succumb to our food cravings, but it is necessary to have a good diet.

I am extremely passionate about fitness.

I can't imagine my life without a fitness regime and enjoy motivating others about the same.

Exercising has a calming influence on me. It's almost like a meditation.

I am a vegetarian.

Sure, I have been a part of many Telugu movies, but I got those films because of my Hindi movies.

People get inspired by Salman Khan, Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger. But, body sculpting is a gradual progression.

I played cricket for the Delhi under-15 and 19 team. I was inspired by Imran Khan.

My fitness approach and philosophy are based on day-to-day functionalities. These functions are bending, lifting, lunging, pulling, pushing and squatting.

I can't see myself doing something as astonishing as jumping of a chopper. I find it stupid.

As a parent I fail because my son does not take me seriously.

I am a foodie and do not suppress the needs of my body.
