As an actor I get opportunities to do different kind of films. It's not that if I have done a few comedies, I'm averse to other roles or genres. It's just that I go for the films I like and incidentally some of them have been comedies.

Success of a film is not only based on the film being good or bad. A lot of other factors are involved as well.

I never regret what I do. I'm very proud of every work I have done.

I learnt a lot as a child actor. Since I had been before the camera, I knew how it would be to be on a set or on a shoot. That way it was easy for me when I re-entered the industry as the main lead.

I started off with films similar to 'Blood Money' - intense, emotional dramas. But as is often the case, the industry and audience typecast me and I decided to break away. Hence, followed a spate of comedies.

With some many talented people around, it is difficult to cut through competition and stand out.

I started as a nobody in this industry and today I can say that I have made some sort of a name for myself.

I was born there and I moved away in 1990 when I was seven years old. After that my family moved away from there to Delhi and Mumbai. Now, only a handful of relatives live in Kashmir and we are constantly worried about them. It pains me to see that my birth-place is not a safe place to be in anymore.

I am an ardent watcher of lot of series on the web platform.

I am a fan of crime investigative series.

I do know there is a lot of pain sometimes but you need to deal with it and communicate what you're feeling.

I have generally never committed to things in my life but I am very committed to this relationship. Soha is one of my best friends and sometimes I treat her like a friend more than a girlfriend.

It has been a journey of ups and downs. There have been moments of immense joy and heartbreaks. Everything I have gone through has made me better.

It's a huge learning that things aren't always in your control. You can only be responsible for what you're doing.

I keep feeling I constantly debut every two years.

It's annoying to sit at home and not go to work. But I feel it's better to wait and do something that will be seen and appreciated.

I have been a funny kid growing up but every one thought I was a serious person. I think it has to do with the choice of my films such as 'Zakhm,' 'Kalyug' and 'Traffic Signal.'

I used to once believe that the script is the most important thing, but now I also believe that the kind of people you are working with also matters a lot, and moreso, to see how the film will be promoted.

Bollywood has not utilised my potential! But unfortunately, we can't plan and have things our way.

I don't think there is any set formula to have a good relationship.

All relationships are complicated in some way - you fight, you make up, you laugh, you get angry. It happens.

When you are a public figure, relationships are a bit complicated.

Onion juice and peel applied to the face and scalp is a great natural detoxifier. I followed it for some time but it kills your social life! You can say I didn't find it very a-peeling.

Don't try to walk in someone else's shoes - literally and figuratively. Wear what you feel confident in.
