artist attracts bollywood purity strike turns
There is a sense of purity in theatre which always attracts me. Deep down, I feel I am more of an artist than a commodity, which Bollywood turns you into. I want to strike a balance.
beauty commercial deepest huge reach sooner understand
Every actor's deepest desire is to reach a huge audience. So, I don't look down upon commercial cinema... there's a beauty in it that you understand sooner or later.
gut happens letting stand stardom
Stardom happens - you can't plan it - it's destiny, and you shouldn't stand between you and your destiny. I'm letting my destiny play its part, and I go by my gut feeling. If I like my role, I say yes; if I don't, I just refuse, as simple as that.
celebs
Celebs says we have no time for love, but I wouldn't say that.
flop happening whether
I feel very meditative when I ride. A horse does not know whether my movie is a hit or a flop or what is happening in my relationship.
half mind
I wouldn't mind going half naked on stage, if that is what my role demands.
basis cast essential filmmakers films given offer work
It is important to keep the filmmakers interested in you so they can offer you everything and anything. We actors are not given work on the basis of audience poll; the filmmaker will cast you after they see and like your work. It is essential to do different kind of films and not get typecast.
widely
I think 'method acting' is a widely abused term.
basics front good help invariably learnt realising
Having learnt my basics in theatre, I always feel film is a collaborative effort. If you do your part well and help the person in front of you in realising his or her potential, the film invariably comes out good.
change explore likes playing roles
There is no need to change my image. I like my image, and the audience likes it, too. I am very comfortable with the kind of roles I do, and as I am not doing the same character or playing myself. I explore my characters; I don't brood over my broody image.
captain department enjoy excel figured fun great life love plays rest theatre work
We had a great dramatics department in school, so I did a lot of plays and theatre there. Later, when I was the captain of our student's ward, I figured out that if you find something you really love to do, you don't have to work for the rest of your life! You can just have fun and still excel in it because you enjoy what you do.
flirting looks busy
It's too bad I'm not a flirt. When I'm on the sets, I'm too busy working on my scenes to look at the ladies.
romantic different hopeless
Love to me has meant different things at different junctures of my life. I'm not a hopeless romantic.
the-end-of-the-day actors wheels
At the end of the day, an actor is only a cog in the wheel.
