Pulkit Samrat

I'm happy I got to do different kinds of roles - romance, action, and even a satire in 'Bangistan.'

As an actor, everyone wants to grow.

I have fun on the set and that translates onscreen.

The moment I make a big deal of anything, I can't do that thing.

I think Kriti and I have great onscreen chemistry, which translates in real life.

The songs in 'Junooniyat' worked for me.

I can speak with the eyes, but I find saying 'I love you' very tacky. It's too mushy.

I have always taken a step forward and believe that slow and steady wins the race.

I enjoy every kind of genre.

If there is something that has worked for me or not worked for me in my personal life then it is because I was at fault somewhere and may be the other person was at fault.

I love dancing, which I've been learning since childhood.

I'd love to play somebody with a split personality.

I started my journey in this industry through TV. I never assisted anyone. So I never had the opportunity to understand and read how a star works.

When you get a co-star with whom you can do some give-and-take, it becomes like one of those lawn tennis matches where you give a great reply to a serve.

Richa Chadha, she's amazing. I love her!

Madhuri Dixit, I love her.

When Bejoy approached me with 'Taish' I was very excited because I was going to get to work with him, he has always been one of my favorite directors and I have always loved his work.

I liked 'Serious Men,' and 'Scam 1992' is amazing, what a show! I also watched 'Comedy Couple,' that too was amazing.

'Friends' is a constant, but can't really call it binge-watching.

Though I am a shy person at heart, I explode as a volcano once I open up with people around me, and then I am all fun.

Lush green forests, chirping birds and the gentle beast... that's what the shoot for 'Haathi... ' is like every single day. A life-changing experience which not only is beautiful at the face of it but the soul too.

You can't disrespect my parents. They stopped visiting me because whenever they came, they would be disrespected. It came to a point where I had to choose between my parents and Shweta. I chose my parents.

Every daughter is a shadow of her mum. I respect that, but there's a limit. There's a certain line that needs to be drawn, which every mother and daughter understands.

Gossip or rumors about my personal life do not bother me.

I have always got many offers from television and films.

Salman Khan's support means a lot to me. I do feel nervous at times about disappointing him. I try not to let his expectations down.

It's always special to shoot in Delhi.

Salman Khan is always aware of what I am doing. He is my check point for everything I do, what I should do and what I shouldn't.

My movies should be such that kids, grandparents and parents are able to watch it together.

I select movies keeping in mind that my family should be able to watch it.

I think personal and family matters should be kept limited within the family.

I always work with a hope that people will like it.

I always wanted to become an actor. I just followed the passion step after step.

When you fall in love, you genuinely hear violin being played in the background. You genuinely feel that clouds are bursting and you look at every small thing as really beautiful.

I don't think that there is anything unreal when it comes to romance onscreen. It's just a little more glorifying. But whatever you feel in real life about love, is just what we try to show on the silver screen as well.

Definitely, the most important part of a love story is the chemistry between the two actors because a love story is about a guy and a girl meeting and falling in love. You don't see love coming across if the chemistry is not there.

A love story definitely demands a great onscreen chemistry between its actors.

I've been shooting with this gentle beast of an elephant for my film 'Haathi Mere Saathi.' During the shoot, I got to know of the various problems they face. We got in touch with a few volunteers who are helping conserve the tusker's habitats and water reservoirs.

If you stop getting work, than it should stress you. If the offers are coming in, than that's okay.

I am neutral when a film fails.

It is immature and very foolish to hold anyone responsible for the weakness that I would have in my relationship.

If I am adding value as an actor to something that's offered to me on television, why not to do it? But it must challenge me and I must add some value to it.

I was into theatre in school and college with theatre personality Barry John, who has also trained Shah Rukh Khan. Then I joined the Elite modeling agency - they have different courses including grooming, modeling and theatre workshop. I was selected for modeling.

When I walk or people see me somewhere they stop and recognize me; heads turn when I pass. God has blessed me.

Since I have become a known face, I want to be part of social causes.

As a child, I used to watch award functions, and would dream of going up to the stage and getting an award.

I am thankful to all the people who have supported me, especially my family.

When I was in the seventh grade, I had a girlfriend. I used to save up some of my pocket money to get her gifts on Valentine's Day.

Somebody asked me what am I doing on Valentine's Day, and all I had to say was that I'll spend it with my dog, who will love me endlessly.
