I couldn't ask for better parents. I keep that at the forefront of whatever I do, and every time I feel like I can't take another step, I see their faces, and that drives me.

As I grew older, I realised that Bruce Lee was an actor first and a martial artist second. If he wasn't a convincing actor and didn't have the emotion in his eyes before delivering a kick or a punch, it wouldn't have made that much of an impact.
I have had a lot of crushes but have never had the courage to go up to a girl and say what I feel. I am scared of rejection.
Apparently, I used to bite, scratch and growl at people when I was young, so my parents named me 'Tiger.'
Stuntmen don't have a lavish life. They are such hard working people, but not respected enough. And I don't like that. If I become something in my life, I want to give them a better life, take them to a higher level.
I really respect actors much more now that I am one because I realise what hard work goes into being part of the industry.
After my 12th standard, I started preparing for the film industry. I've had no formal acting training.
Michael Jackson is so unique, and I look up to him and try to imbibe as much from him and marry it to my own style.
Action is a universal language, so everyone understands a punch and a kick.
If I have to use a body double, it means I'm not well prepared to do what I have to do.
I am trying to give whatever little fans I have as much information as they want from me. I don't want to come across as arrogant or mean by not telling or giving them what them I want. These are the people who make you a star.
I am comfortable in my character's skin. I am uncomfortable being in my own skin.
My becoming an actor wasn't planned. My interest always lied in sports such as football, martial arts, gymnastics and dance.
I look for roles where I can do justice, show people a side of Bollywood they haven't seen before.
