If you don't need it, don't buy it.

Once in a while, I get a massage done at home but I'm not a spa junkie.
People always told me that 'Kalyug' wasn't the right choice, but it did well and now I think people have accepted me in the lead.
I am not a fitness freak.
My kiss in 'Kalyug' was beautifully shot.
Kissing on screen isn't easy.
Acting is my first love and I want to stick to it. But I would be happy to offer my inputs to a script, if asked.
I have been doing films since I was seven. I really love the medium itself.
I don't make a conscious effort to choose any particular genre. If I like the script, I go ahead with the project.
People will always talk about stars who are doing two films together.
I am lucky to get different roles.
I'm not much of a hectic packer and prefer to travel light.
You don't want to be wearing tight jeans and a blingy jacket on a 16-hour flight.
More than the length, it's the meat of the character that is more important. It does not matter if you are on screen, standing in the corner for the whole film, as opposed to doing something that stands out in two scenes.
If you notice, no child star made it big when s/he grew up because the child's image was still fresh in people's memory. They could not digest the fact that the child star had grown into a man.
I'm a big foodie but not much of a cook. I can cook desi stuff like dal, rice and chicken. I learnt to cook a little bit when I was in college and I used to cook for my friends. I'm not picky about food and eat all types of food, the type of cuisine doesn't matter as long as the food tastes good.
I'm a movie fanatic and love watching all kinds of movies.
I don't want to take off my shirt and roam topless all the time, just for the heck of it.
Most people only concentrate on their upper body and ignore their legs. It doesn't make sense to have a bulky upper body and have skinny legs. I too, fell prey to this and had weak legs.
Dhol' is a light-hearted thriller revolving around four unemployed guys who are chasing money. It's my first attempt at comedy.
I know my limitations as an actor.
First hand on 'Go Goa Gone' I learnt how to write on final drafts, how the process works.
I am enjoying being an actor, I really love the art.
I'm glad that the audience and critics have liked my work.
I don't think any relation can work if one dominates. It has to be an equal relation for it to be successful and happy.
After working in a number of films as a child actor, I took a break so that people could forget me as a child actor and relate to me as a hero.
There is something so different and empowering about travelling solo. It's a unique experience and one that is so self-educating.
I am a person who is greedy to do better in life, to do more in life.
When we watch a film as actors, you have to understand that we always see much more than what's on screen.
As a child, I thought we had come to Mumbai for a holiday. I did not realise that this holiday was permanent.
I like watching American TV shows like 'The Sopranos,' 'Game of Thrones,' etc. I also like to watch dance reality shows since I love to dance, even though I haven't been trained in dancing.
Though I can speak only tooti futi Gujarati, I can understand it completely.
Sporting a six-pack doesn't necessarily mean that one is fit as it tends to reduce one's immunity levels.
I hate controversies and want to be in the news for the right reasons.
There are roles that I can't do.
There have been films I have said no to and there are roles that I wish I had done.
I am not a trained writer.
As a child working in films was like a hobby but now it has turned into a profession. And with that, it's become a life that's full of pressure and nervousness about Box Office results, competition.
An actor has to be a complete package, he should have a toned body, know how to dance, act and do everything possible under the sun.
I would love to do roles which would become dream roles for others.
I think one should take criticism in one's stride and prove oneself. In fact, I would like to thank my critics as their criticism gave me the fire and passion to prove myself.
The only time I travelled solo was when I did a 40-day trip visiting America for the first time.
I have had my share of flops and it's very discouraging. It's pathetic to be on that side.
After Class 10, I kept away from films.
Life was difficult for my family, as we didn't know where to go after leaving Kashmir. We settled down in Mumbai, in a suburb called Mira Road.
