There are media houses which put headline with a question mark, and that is how they can get away without taking the accountability of the allegation. They put the question mark. Let's analyze it a little - a common reader will not remember the question mark: they will remember the allegation.
'Raman Raghav' will break my image of cute boy-next-door. My character in the film is mad, demented, very aggressive. He is a good cop but has his own issues.
When you take this journey of becoming an actor, there are only destinations - one, where people give you that limelight and expect the world from you, and two, they don't know who you are, and they don't care what you are doing. You have to choose where you want to go.
I wasn't the star-obsessed person. I never wanted to meet stars at film sets.
My father would schedule meetings over breakfast. Film-makers such as Rakesh Roshan and Prakash Jha have seen me as a child run around the house.
'Zubaan' is the first film I had signed as a lead. It was an opportunity I was waiting for, coming at a time when I was getting shortlisted for roles but was unable to make the final cut.
When you get to work with a good director, an actor's job gets reduced to half.
I feel there's a halo around me, a constant sunshine wherever I go.
Subconsciously, there was always an actor inside me. But while growing up, it was a very normal childhood because my dad never got films to the dining table and never discussed films.
My job is to give my best, and where my journey would take me is something that I have left to God. I am not much of a planner; I am more of a doer.
My father never got films to our dinner table. It was never the case with us as well that our father works in films, and we know so many actors. It was like him going to work like any other father. In fact, my school friends would ask me if I have met a certain actor, and I would tell them that I haven't, which they found strange.
I will keep working hard in future as well so that audience will keep showering their love upon me.
