Theatre is like an actor's nectar, like how cinema is a director's medium.
People think that theatre helps, but in my case, it slowed me down. I had to unlearn everything when I went on to a film set.
With every project, I have to grow.
Working on a particular look doesn't make you a serious actor.
I was shooting for 'Bobby Jasoos' when I was offered 'Khamoshiyan.'
The better the actor I am acting with, the better my performance gets.
We have to keep pace with changing times.
I see myself and my contemporaries being part of some good work in Bollywood.
The cast of 'Fukrey' will remain the same in the sequel. But the story is more of a fresh one.
Theatre gives me a different high.
I have looked up to Emraan Hashmi from day one.
It was great working with Paul Walker and Vin Diesel.
I am in love with stories of underdogs.
It is very nice to have good actors with you.
I have always felt that just to show love, you don't have to make two people do intimate scenes. That is not the idea of 'I love you.'
One has to get rid of his inhibitions, being an actor.
I don't regret leaving 'Homeland,' because I wanted to work with the Bhatts. The dates were clashing, and I had to make a choice.
My first preference is Bollywood and will always be.
The first thing that I see in a woman are her eyes. Sorry, it sounds shallow, but eyes say a lot about a person.
I am a diehard romantic, and I shamelessly accept that. I love writing letters.
When you first meet someone, it's always about one-upmanship. The couple tries to impress each other.
Doing less films is sometimes intentional, but sometimes things just don't work out.
I never thought I would do something in Hollywood after I started with a series in the West, which was a small stint.
Hollywood has realised that we do have actors and are not just mad about song and dance.
Goa isn't just about tourism and happy faces.
I am the first one in my family to become a part of Bollywood.
I don't believe that you can learn acting in a classroom.
I am learning the grammar of acting on the sets. And I am happy that way.
I think every filmmaker has his way of working, and I respect that.
Hollywood has got technology, method, and discipline.
