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.

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

I started very young as a hero.

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

I would love to work with Alia Bhatt. I think she is very talented and has been really good in all her films.

I just love the process of filmmaking.

I started dreaming about being an actor in Gwalior, and it feels amazing to shoot in my hometown.

If fans consider me a heartthrob, I think it has more to do with the kind of characters that I have played.

I've always wanted to be an actor who connects with families because once they come to watch your film in the theatres, it becomes a big deal. That's how you sell four tickets at one go.

In both the 'Punchnama' movies, the characters and their relationships were only about boyfriends and girlfriends. But in 'SKTKS,' we had so much more to talk about.

As an actor, you're always told that your career needs box-office numbers.

Life of an actor is not his or hers: it's everyone's life. Nothing is private; nothing is personal. If you're doing great in terms of work, that's the price you've to give.

I'm happy being the relatable hero.

People relate to my characters and see me in a different way. They identify with me and remember the nuances of my characters.

I really respect the kind of compliments and appreciation I am getting for my work in 'Sonu Ke Titu Ke Sweety,' and I will make sure that I will not disappoint my audience in future.

I can't grab anything that comes my way just because it's from a big banner.

As a youngster, I really enjoyed watching cricket.

I've been subtle in my taste. It's all about solid colours - mostly blue, white, and black. Also, I believe one should always feel comfortable in what they wear. Because when they're not, their body language is always a big give-away.

When I first moved to Mumbai, I shared a flat with 12 boys.

In Gwalior, where I lived initially, I never thought much about fashion. I started understanding fashion only when I moved to Delhi.

I want to be known as a commercial hero.

I am an ardent cricket fan, and I have seen the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium matches on TV.

Success has taken its own sweet time to reach me.

Post-'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety,' now there are more opportunities for me in terms of films. I'm getting offers from the makers I always wanted to work with.
