Follow the rituals, be disciplined, eat more fruits, and don’t miss the prayers.

Nothing is easy in life; one cannot take success and hard work for granted. It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.

As an actor, you get to play different roles through different characters. It is interesting to be a part of the entertainment industry. The biggest advantage of being an actor is that it never gets boring.

You have not changed much over the years. what’s the secret?

I believe in who I am. Neither my principles, nor my work ethics have changed. One should be humble. I prefer eating healthy while being committed to my craft.

I would love to feature in a period drama.

Top Gun Maverick was amazing.

I cannot imagine life without travel. Norway is on my wish-list now.

If not an actor, what would you be?

I was never inclined to be an actor. It happened by chance. If I had not been an actor, my focus would have been on education. I majored in psychology and would do something in that field.

My last show was Naagin 6. I am open to TV as well as OTT now.
