'Pink,' which is set in Delhi, is not women-centric but a youth film.

We should all realize where we have come from our learnings and teachings and set examples for future generations.

My message for young parents is that although it is very natural to worry, it doesn't lead to anything. Try to live positively because your attitude is going to rub off on your children.

The main challenge is food. I need to zip my mouth and not give in to cravings.

I am just indulging in watching our daughter grow, seeing her walk around the house, get up and sometimes fall on her bum, it is a beautiful sight and very heartening to see her becoming a loving and happy child.

I trained in kick-boxing and Muay Thai.

Besides working out for nearly six hours a day, I am also learning different forms of martial arts.

Though I was born in a cricketing family and played Under 16 and Under 19 cricket for Delhi, my heart was always in cinema. Even while I was playing cricket, I was day dreaming about how it would be to stand on a film set saying lines.

I train like an athlete. I am very competitive. I like to fight. I like to prove my performance.

My childhood was all about discipline, hard work and training.

I watched a lot of Jean-Claude Van Damme films and loved his film 'Bloodsport.'

I am thankful for having got the opportunity to work in a film such as 'Pink' so early in my career.

In Shoojit's films, there is no hero and villain. Every character has its own space and there is a social message in all of his films whether it is 'Vicky Donor' or 'Madras Cafe.'

My childhood dream was to work with Mr Bachchan and 'Pink' fulfilled that.

I had to unlearn cricket to learn hockey. It is easier for someone who is not a sportsperson to pick up hockey. They just have to learn it.

I would like to get a wider audience. With 'Tiger Zinda Hai' I reached out to Salman Khan's market, through 'Soorma' I can reach out to Diljit's fans. As an actor I want to have my own market too.

I want to do films that will make an impact and project me in a different way.

I have been fortunate that 'Pink' has been that film which gave my career a push. I owe a lot to Shoojit Sircar for having faith in me and my co-stars Taapsee Pannu and Amitabh Bachchan sir.

I feel Mehr has brought in a lot of changes in me. She has made me understand a lot of things and there's a lot of gratitude towards the universe and people now. It has made me a better person and a better performer. It has made me realise the value of family and of my own parents.

The entire industry saw 'Pink' and it helped me get more work.

I come from a sports background and the spirit was always alive to strive for more, and better.

Diljit Dosanjh is like a brother to me.

If 'Soorma' is getting me noticed, I have the director, Shaad Ali, to thank for it.

My inspiration are actors like Rajkummar Rao, Ayushmann Khurana, Ranveer Singh.

Neha is such a positive person and spreads such good vibes in all the lives she touches.

As long as I am getting acceptance, I would rather take one step at a time and let the audience also accept me.

Yes, I would surely like to work with Neha in a family oriented or a romantic-comedy, or in any Punjabi film.

The fighting spirit that I have comes from my father.

My motivation in personal and professional life is my dad because the way he has played and inspired many other players to play cricket the correct way. He had a great professional life and has always been an outspoken man.

I would love to do a biopic on a bowler like Zaheer Khan or Harbhajan Singh. I would love to see their struggles on screen.

Switching from acting to cricket isn't difficult, because I have represented Delhi in the under-19 category. Plus cricket is in my blood.

My father and I always discuss cricket.

At 17, I realized that it's going to be a tough decision to make, but I had the clarity of thought to walk out of cricket and try my luck in acting.

I grew up watching Amitabh Bachchan's films.

I always wanted to be an actor.

I was not born when my father retired in 1979, but I watched footage of his games on VHS.

I feel I have been playing all primary characters. And if your character forms a connect with the audience, it doesn't matter if you are playing only the main solo lead or a second lead.

I have had some great co-actors to work with like Richa Chadha, Taapsee Pannu and Alia Bhatt. I really value these big co-stars because if they are in sync with you, it makes you a better actor.

Neha and I were part of a very small, tightly-knit group of close friends. Others in the group like Yuvraj Singh and Gaurav Chopra got married. That left only two of us. So we decided to get married.

A lot of actors want to do a solo release, but not many people go and watch it. The more you work with different actors and producers, the more your work reaches people.

To portray a real-life character is the toughest job for an actor because one never knows which direction to flow.

My mother has taught me to be self-reliant, independent and ambitious. She has taught me to chase my goals even though nobody believes in you, you need to believe and you need to fly.

My mother supported me when I wanted to change my career and wanted to come to Mumbai from Delhi. She supported me when I wanted to be an actor. It is her prayers, blessings and strength because of which I am here today.

I think the emotion between a child and a mother is the most beautiful and honest emotion you will ever get to see.

I am quite close to my mother. In fact, I speak to her every day.

I hope 'Tiger 3' gets made because it's a great franchise to be a part of. I hope I get repeated in 'Tiger 3' also because I feel that to work with Salman Khan Sir is the biggest thing ever.

I've picked up a lot of muscle weight. I have to be a physically strong guy.

I'm really looking forward to Rohit Sir's film 'Sooryavanshi.' I'm a big Rohit Shetty fan and also Akshay Sir is in it.

I would love to follow a career graph like Akshay Kumar's.

Life post 'Pink' has been great. I have no complaint. I have worked very hard to be where I am.
