When you put out a good product, people will find it and go to it.

The way I go to watch The Rock in 'Fast and Furious', I want people to come and watch me.

I had three scenes in 'Super 30', but I got a good response.

For me, 'Sultan' was like a resurrection. I think my career was almost dead. You go through these lows and highs in life, especially in a film career and you live with your chin up.

And yes, I think 'Sultan' gave me the greatest platform ever to showcase my talent.

I will be honest, and I have no shame in saying that after 'Kai Po Che!', I did not get chances. Some people didn't understand what to give me, and some people went out of the way to not give me work.

There were very depressing days when the whole year everyone was working, and you were sitting at home because half of the people weren't giving you work and then there were some who didn't like you.

I think the digital world has given actors a better opportunity to present their talent. 'Breathe', especially has given me a lot. It holds a special place in my heart. And when it is on me, I give a lot to it as well.

I did not leave television to go to the movies. In television, they banned me.

As an actor, you've to be honest while giving any shot, the camera is same in any medium, the sound system, too. So, it doesn't matter.

I think a movie released is better than a movie stuck.

But now, I think I have found a corner, a groove of what kind of stories I want to be part of and what type of characters I want to play. I have a soft corner for damaged people or those who are not supposedly quintessentially perfect but have the instincts to be protective.

All the things you are liking in 'Breathe', the credit goes to the director and writer. As far as I am concerned, I have given my 1000 per cent to the character, and I will continue to give my heart and soul to 'Breathe' because this series means everything to me.

As an artiste, I want to become more people, play more characters.

But as an artiste, I want to challenge myself because that is what art is all about.

I would be lying if I'd say success and failure doesn't matter because they do. For now, my biggest joy is that I am able to bring you so much work, which I think is also a success.

There is nothing called 'switch on-switch-off' in an actor. We are not machines.

Whether it is a film, television serial or web series, there are three basic things that I consider when I give a nod for a project. Firstly, is the story bringing any effect on my mind. Secondly, the integrity of the makers, and how it will impact the society once the story goes on the public platform.

I got some really expensive helmets as I' am passionate about bike riding.

My first pay cheque was when I was a security guard in a Benetton showroom, which was Rs 900. I took all my security guard friends for a treat to eat Chinese food and ended up spending my entire salary in just three days, leaving me with no choice but to rely on my friends for food for the entire month.

I learnt to manage my own money, a quality which I am working on since a long while now. I invest most of my money in myself either in learning and/or travelling.

You live only once so always strike a balance and when you have abundance, contribute as much as you can.

People used to call me a one film wonder. I am glad to understand the dynamics and demographics of functioning in this industry.

Take rejection as an eye-opener. Take it as something that pushes you and makes you do things better.

I was at a place called Mukteshwar. I have a property there and the best part about it is that you can see the Himalayan mountain ranges from there. Also, there's a lot of wildlife around my house. There are sambars, barking deers and leopards too.
