Sometimes, I sit with my guitar and start playing... something or the other pops into my head... Basically, I write whatever that comes to my mind. I've written a lot of songs, but they are lying in my cupboard... I mean to do something about them someday.
— Aditya Roy Kapur
Habib Faisal is a wonderful director.
I went on a diet after 'Daawat-e-Ishq.' It was tough to resist eating because we were in Lucknow and Hyderabad, and the food over there is amazing.
At the end of the day, filmmaking is a business. You want everyone to make money.
I'm happy in my own world, and I'm also a good boy.
I never get sullen, sad, or envious, because those emotions will get me nowhere.
I didn't grow up watching Hindi films and loving them, or wanting to become a Bollywood actor. That, to me, was the most fantastical idea.
I have been in relationships, and I felt that I was in love, but I don't know if love lasts forever.
Once I like something, I will eat it again and again.
I have no qualms in going for hair weaving or transplant.
The failure of 'OK Jaanu' hit me hard.
Don't let any issue carry over to the next day. Talk about it all before you hit the bed.
I look back - I think I am an accidental actor.
Live-in relationships are common these days; that's why so many movies are being made on the subject.
In 'Kalank,' I am playing a character, which is quite strong, quiet a little complex yet interesting, that drew me towards the character when I heard the narration from director Abhishek Varman.
At the end of the day, it's a business; people want to make money. That's the intention with every film. It happens for some movies. For others, it doesn't.
I am not good with PR or in projecting a certain image of myself, and I don't give clarifications about rumours; that's it.
I would love to do an action film.
Both my parents are wonderful cooks - my father looks like he has been in the kitchen his whole life.
I'm a city boy, born and brought up in Mumbai. I talk fast, have a certain sense of humour, and have grown up watching Jackie Chan movies.
Daawat-E-Ishq' did not do as well as we expected, so yes, when a film doesn't do as well as you wanted it to, it hurts, especially after you have put your sweat and blood on it.
I've always been a quiet person.
I don't want to do only one film a year; I want to work more.
I don't think you can ever remake a classic.
Every young actor wants this feeling of being the solo lead in a film.
Now that I have joined Instagram, I think I'm on it less than before. Earlier, I used to be there all the time. I'm enjoying it because it's where you have complete control on what you're putting out, as you want it. I don't feel there's a compulsion to be active.
I believe in the institution of marriage. I want to get married and start a family.
It's a good addition to get a female perspective.
I've heard how people are asking each other to 'Netflix and chill,' so I think it's kind of fun. I'd do that!
By the time I finished my first three films, I realised this is something I want to do for a long time, learn, and grow in.
I think live-in relationship works for a few people, and it doesn't for others. I have never done it, so I can't speak about the pros and cons. I don't know if that will work for me or not, but I am definitely not close to the idea. For an arrangement like that to succeed, one needs to have the right feeling for the right person.
If I want to be a leading man in a film, box office numbers count because producers have invested money. I see no wrong in that process.
When you are working with someone who is so aware of what they do, you become better, too.
I love all kinds of genres. I watch all kinds of movies.
I am not a cook at all. It wasn't difficult to play a chef because it was not about knowing recipes. I just had to look comfortable in the kitchen.
I'd love to do comedy.
I can't do a film just for the sake of it.
I'm not going to do a film unless there's something in it to excite me.
When I see a contemporary deliver a good performance, I get inspired to do better. I don't sit and mull over other people's successes; that can be unhealthy.
Yes, I will probably concentrate on solo roles, but I would not say no to multi-starrers if they come from good directors and with a good script. I would allow myself the freedom to do it.
There are a couple of stories that I have in my head for which I feel like I should collaborate with people. So yes, if I would like to direct, I would also like to write whatever I direct.
I wanted to become a cricketer primarily because the idea of playing in front of 40,000 odd people gave me an adrenaline rush.
I would like to believe that I would have made a good cricketer.
I find it tough to ride my bike around Bandra because people recognise me now.
I am all about old school romance. I love everything about the classic relationships.
I never grew up on a staple diet of Hindi cinema. In fact, when I was a VJ, I was averse to it. Purely because I could never imagine myself being an actor.
When you are repeating your co-star, it's good to bring something new to the equation on screen.
As actors, when we keep working every day, after a point of time, we just know all our emotional cards and how to play them.
I'm passionate about my work.
