In 'Poster Boys,' I played a character that no one would have thought that I could portray. The film helped me focus on work, and I worked so hard on it that even though it didn't do well, I didn't let it bring me down.

I have done so many films in which either I have been the main lead or part of the supporting cast.

In 'Poster Boys,' every character is well defined.

Every film has its destiny.

As a child, I saw how the industry's sweet-talkers operate. For years, they tried to make my father feel like he was the best actor in the whole world. My father never took them seriously. I, too, imbibed that trait from him.

I agree I was rash and got totally out of hand when I was a teenager, but I took hold of my life.

Ideally, I'd like to keep a balance between action and romantic roles.

I believe you must enjoy every phase of your life.

I miss my family all the time.

Stage shows help you meet the audiences face-to-face.

I'd rather have the media as my friends than making use of them for my own benefit.

I'm quite a shy person.

I am the son of Punjab-da-puttar after all.

My dad is a true man. A man's man. Every manly thing he does, he does so well.

It's important that I work with good people.

I disliked people calling me a chocolate hero initially, as I wanted to explore other genres of acting.

What I am really happy with is the way fans feel about me, and they are able to come up and talk to me, as they feel really comfortable with me.

I do discuss things with him, but as a father, not a friend.

My father belongs to a different generation altogether. He has spent most of his time working hard to make our lives comfortable, and ours is more of a conventional father-son relationship rather than one of friends.

I really look up to my dad.

While doing 'Jhoom Barabar Jhoom' with Abhishek, I never thought about my dad's and Amitabhji's hit 'Jodi.' I just play my character and don't think about history and the future.

I am very close to my dad. I respect him a lot, and now I am very open with him.

I have grown up looking up to my dad and bhaiya.

I learn from my family. And it's not like I learn from them on the sets only.
