My worst fear is to not able to understand what my director wants me to do. I might not be able to reciprocate to his idea or vision. I may not be able to perform before the camera. Those are my worst fears.

I never wanted to be an engineer.
I always celebrate festivals - whether it's Holi or Diwali.
When you know someone for four-five years, you tend to know everything about the person. You tend to know when the other person is reacting to a certain situation, how the other person would react in a situation.
I've faced a lot of struggle and been a victim of backstabbing.
Shah Rukh Khan is an institution in himself. Like me, there are millions who adore and worship the Badshah of Bollywood. I've been a huge fan of him even before I decided to become an actor.
Since two of my films of 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' series worked, people think I am good in such roles.
I have learnt to deal with the box office result. Whatever happened to any film, thankfully, people always appreciated my performance.
In the beginning of our career, we want to make an identity, and I am happy that people think I have good comic timing, and they are casting me in films.
People think that I have figured it all out, at a young age, about love.
While growing up, I used to sleep at 8 P.M. and get up at 4 A.M. to study.
Maybe girls think that I can never be in a relationship and I can only give advice to other men to not fall in love or get committed to a girl. But that's not true.
If I have to do 40 films like 'Punchnama,' I will take it up as long as I enjoy it.
Would I do another 'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety?' I'd do it as many times as Luv Ranjan wants me to.
If you have talent, then success will come to you.
It does happen sometimes that you aren't able to understand whether you should go for a particular film or not, and you are left with only one or two choices.
I really respect the kind of compliments and appreciation I am getting for my work in 'Sonu Ke Titu Ke Sweety,' and I will make sure that I will not disappoint my audience in future.
As a youngster, I really enjoyed watching cricket.
While I am lucky to be associated with people who believe in content, all that matters is your talent and box-office results.
The reason I am an actor is because I have faith in myself.
I believe in method acting. Whenever I'm working on a character, I start behaving like him. I start doing these things which the character would normally do. Maybe that's the way I function as an actor, and I believe in it. And that's how I try and portray a character.
If I like a script, I will definitely pick films of different genres, but I won't do something just for the sake of it.
It is always good to perform with an actor who is good and inspires you to do better.
There are films that look very interesting when on paper, but things change while shooting. At times, things changed during post-production, and I see no reason to blame anything on anyone. It is a collaborative effort. If it failed, we should face it.
I think comedy is a genre that has a lot of potential. It is a very content-driven film genre.
Personally, I'm a fan of comedy movies that I can watch with my friends and family.
All my characters have been relatable.
I am a reflection of my mother.
Good scripts, which are apt for me, eventually come to me.
I was with my mother at a mall when our car was suddenly surrounded by people. Initially, she loved seeing her son getting mobbed. Then the crowds started swelling, and they began to push and shove and tilt the car. My mom's joy turned into anxiety.
I don't fear being judged as a misogynist.
It feels great to have an equally huge fan following of guys and girls.
'PKP' was a huge success, and even the sequel did well. I became very choosy after that.
I am living my dream, basically.
I am an ardent cricket fan, and I have seen the iconic Sharjah Cricket Stadium matches on TV.
Nothing tastes like success.
My parents wanted me to get a degree.
I try to woo the person whom I love. Even a good morning call to start the day is good enough for me.
'Baazigar' was the movie which initiated my drift towards acting.
After 'King of Monologues,' now I'm loving the term 'Bromantic Hero.'
Since in the end, as an actor, I cannot do much apart from giving my best on camera, I won't let myself be affected by the business of cinema.
I have no problem in doing comedy, as I am happily consolidating my image of a comic actor.
For 'Guest Iin London,' I got a lot of appreciation.
A lot of my friends ask me for advice.
I get so many messages from people seeking advice to mend their relationship.
There is always going to be someone who is not going to be happy with me and talk or gossip about me, no matter what I do.
More than my own happiness, it's my mother's happiness that makes me happy.
Ever since I entered this industry, I have always wanted to do romantic films.
My characters in both 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama' films were so relatable that every other guy connects with me.
I was offered a lot of romantic and comedy films.
