Each medium has its own beauty and way of working. While television offers immense reach and long-running shows, films are shorter and they are presented differently. With theatre, it's the thrill of instant feedback.

Amitabh Bachchan and SRK are great actors, but I like the way Suniel Shetty has handled his work. He's doing so many things at one time. He's a sincere actor, he has his own production company, other businesses and he's even the brand ambassador for hockey.
Whenever I am in U.P., I feel as if I am at home.
I was a very ziddi kid. One Diwali, I was hell-bent on lighting an anaar on my palm, and it burst on my palm! It is not a great memory but I still remember that.
I bought quite a few houses and cars.
Good shows have to get made in the first place... The regular ones don't excite me as an actor but at the end of the day, I have to work to earn my bread and butter.
When I have some time, I enjoy watching movies, also trying to cultivate habit of reading.
I don't live to eat but eat to live.
As a sensible actor, I can easily judge which scene looks vulgar and which will look aesthetic.
I don't wish to be a part of 'Bigg Boss.' People only fight on that show; whenever you put on that show, you hear people fighting.
In 'Nach... ', I go all out, but 'Saraswati... ' is an introvert character. The two things are totally opposite.
I'll never say good bye to TV. I belong there.
As a kid, I would have 6-7 muffins with milk for breakfast.
I was never into drama and theatre in school, so I never participated in Christmas skits that were often a part of Christmas celebrations in school.
I have a pretty high metabolism rate. So I tend to lose muscle mass if I am not working out.
I am very and proud of what we've made. 'Maha Kumbh' has all the ingredients.
Nothing has changed really, just that your wife becomes your best friend and you share everything with her instead of your friends. It is a lovely feeling, you feel secured, settled in the head and at the same time more responsible.
I believe that music videos give us an opportunity as actors to play a different character.
Being an actor I believe in doing a variety of roles so that the audience gets to see different shades of me.
Every year, till class ninth, I used to visit Kanpur during my vacations. I still remember during vacations, I used to have great fun with my relatives.
I bought my home in Mumbai in 2008 and things started changing for me after 2011 when I brought my first Ganpati. Career-wise, it took an upward graph for me and I totally believe in it.
I once invested in a risky business. Quite a few people warned me not to do so, but I still went ahead and invested the money.
An actor can never plan. You never know what can work in your favour or not and then maybe the whole dynamics can change.
People say it is tough to have true friends in glam world, but I feel it is the same everywhere.
I am not a foodie so the idea of sacrificing a few things doesn't bother me. I can go on without eating as long as I don't suffer from acidity.
I feel there are very few people who can control their anger.
Physically, I was always into working out and keeping myself fit because more than looking good I want to be healthy.
If my parents don't like something, they tell me on my face. You get real feedback from them.
To be very honest, I owe it all to TV, it has made me what I am today. I've learnt the craft from it.
When I was a kid, I loved having muffins and cupcakes and I still like them with coffee.
I like having a new challenge to tackle because that gives me an adrenaline rush.
Being vegetarian makes me feel healthy.
I'm not allowed to do shows for other channels till 'Saraswati Chandra' is on air, but I'm happy because Star is providing good opportunities to host reality shows like 'Nach Baliye.'
It has this royal feeling - one doesn't get this feel anywhere else; the culture here is so rich and the people here are so respectful - that was one of the reasons why I decided to get married at the Tijara Fort in Alwar.
One afternoon I decided, with a couple of friends, to eat out. We set out hunting for a good restaurant and couldn't find a single place because everything was shut. Finally we had to have idlis at a place and that too at 5 P. M. I didn't know Goa totally shuts down in the afternoon.
As an actor I believe in doing all sorts of genres.
I will always continue to act!
Every year, I feel really sad when I see Ganesha idols lying here and there after the visarjan. So it is my request to everyone to bring home eco-friendly idols.
I think one should definitely invest, not all the money in one go but keep some and invest the rest as and when required.
I've two great friends in showbiz - Nigaar Khan and Waseem Sabir.
I had thought of joining my dad in his stock broking business in Delhi.
I don't want to ever look cheap on screen and want my viewers to squirm in their seats when they see me in such a scene. I'd rather wow them with my physique.
Maintaining dignity and staying calm in a show like 'Bigg Boss' is a very big task.
But the best part about being actors and married to each other is that you can discuss work and take feedback from each other.
I was doing back to back shows for four years.
If you do TV, sign a proper daily soap, then you won't be able to do anything.
I work out for a few hours extra, but I can't give cakes and chocolates a miss on Christmas.
I was a runner in Delhi's Army Public School. I started running when I was in class four and became the fastest sprinter in school and zone competitions by the time I reached class eight.
To keep my metabolism healthy, I eat seven-eight meals a day, every two hours.
The idea of a social hub/website and official Facebook page just felt right as I want to be available for those who want to connect with me and share their feedback, suggestions, love and support.
