YOUR FAVOURITE ROLE YOU PLAYED IN THE PAST?
One of my favorite movies of all time of my own is Banaras-an eternal love story. It was a beautiful film; at a very basic level, it's a love story, but there are so many layers to the film. It's a spiritual, metaphysical film, and every time I go back and watch the film (if by chance it's playing on television and I happen to catch it), I find potions of it which I didn't know or didn't notice or didn't catch onto earlier. So, I think as you grow up as a human being (as I have been growing up as a human being, evolving), I've been seeing so much more in that film because it's so layered and such a deep spiritual film-so I would say that it's one of my favorite films. And of course, Murder was a great film, and I really enjoyed working with Mahesh Butt and Anurag Basu on that film. As we all know, it became a cult film in terms of changing the way the Indian cinema looked at intimate scenes, and it was obviously a resounding success and a super hit film (one of the biggest films of 2014), so I would say that it was a good experience too, and I hold it very close to my heart. The accomplishments that I am most proud of wouldn't be like huge milestones in terms of my career or having being successful at something or having earned money. I think the small things, being there for a friend in time of need, supporting my parents when they needed me the most, taking care of someone who is down, and just being there at times- being human. I think being human is the biggest contribution we can all make to the world. We've forgotten humanity, and I think being human is the most important thing. We can forget about how famous and successful and rich we are- that really doesn't matter at the end of the day it is how much respect you've earned from people because of the humanity that you display so I think when I am available emotionally, mentally, and physically also present when my friends require me or my family requires me or even if a stranger requires just a hug. I think I am very proud of myself and I extend myself and give myself to people. Love is love, and you need to be love to receive love, so just being love is very important. Fitness is one of the most important things for me in my life. I mean, I cannot imagine my day without fitness; I need to do something physical every single day, sweat, detox my body. I am a better human being after I work out. I have more energy, I'm more focused, and just a happier person-you know, the endorphins that are released post-workout or post run, swim (or whatever physical activity I decide to do on that particular day,) just lifts my spirits completely. And yeah, the sun just seems to shine brighter after a workout, so it's very important for me. And it's more of a lifestyle for me; it's not about the narcissistic aspect of it, like how good I'm looking, it's about how good I feel.
