Last Seen In: Four More Shots Please! Season 2 (Amazon Prime)

“I decided to be an actor—seriously—after my first film, Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, turned out to be a box-office hit. My character was loved and appreciated...and that’s when I was certain. If not an actor, I would have been a sportsman, or a musician. There are so many films that I can watch over and over, like The Godfather series and Scarface. In fact,  ‘I’m Tony Montana. You f*ck with me, you’re f*cking with the best!’ by Al Pacino from Scarface is one of my all-time favourite dialogues! Off-screen, I think I am a calm and patient person. Also, hungry...and someone who strives to be the best version of himself all the time. And you may not know this, but I have insectophobia!”
