Hopefully, I will be meeting the right person one day.
Aditya Roy Kapur
Sometimes, I sit with my guitar and start playing... something or the other pops into my head... Basically, I write whatever that comes to my mind. I've written a lot of songs, but they are lying in my cupboard... I mean to do something about them someday.
Rahul Jaykar, my character in 'Aashiqui 2,' was a talented musician battling his demons, while Noor Nizami, my character in 'Fitoor,' is an artist who spends his entire life in pursuit of the love of his muse, Firdaus.
I never get sullen, sad, or envious, because those emotions will get me nowhere.
I never grew up on a staple diet of Hindi cinema. In fact, when I was a VJ, I was averse to it. Purely because I could never imagine myself being an actor.
The dos are drink lots of water, get enough fibre and carbs as well, as they are important. The don'ts are don't be too extreme with any diet; it can really end up harming your system and immunity.
When in a relationship, you are responsible for another person, too. I don't want to commit unless I am absolutely ready.
My mom was working through my childhood, so I would be running around Mumbai from one dance class to another with my mom carrying the tape recorder with me. I would sit on the sidelines and watch her teach dance.
When 'Fitoor' didn't work, it affected me a lot. It hurts when a film doesn't do well.
The failure of 'OK Jaanu' hit me hard.
Music was a part of my life even before acting happened. But I mostly play my guitar only for myself and sometimes when jamming with my friends.
I wanted to become a cricketer primarily because the idea of playing in front of 40,000 odd people gave me an adrenaline rush.
I'm happy in my own world, and I'm also a good boy.
I have no qualms in going for hair weaving or transplant.
When I was a VJ, people told me I will be an actor. I used to laugh.
I write songs, and there is a definite need to express myself through my music.
One cheat meal is fine, but keep it at one, because if you do another, then it's a slippery slope.
At times, it is hard to say no to a film, but that happens, because you can't do a film due to date issues.
My first date was when I was in school. I remember I took her out, and we had sandwiches because I didn't have any money, but it was fun.
There's nothing like work to take your mind off setbacks.
Being single isn't all that bad, as you can be selfish and focus on yourself and your career.
I went on a diet after 'Daawat-e-Ishq.' It was tough to resist eating because we were in Lucknow and Hyderabad, and the food over there is amazing.
I've heard how people are asking each other to 'Netflix and chill,' so I think it's kind of fun. I'd do that!
Failure of a film doesn't diminish my love for acting.
As actors, when we keep working every day, after a point of time, we just know all our emotional cards and how to play them.
When you are working with someone who is so aware of what they do, you become better, too.
Now that I have joined Instagram, I think I'm on it less than before. Earlier, I used to be there all the time. I'm enjoying it because it's where you have complete control on what you're putting out, as you want it. I don't feel there's a compulsion to be active.
When I was young, in my early films, the freshness, and the raw element in my presence on-screen was coming from my youth, and that naturally goes away with time. But the challenge of an actor is to retain the wonder and innocence alive.
As an actor, technically, when you are off a film, you are out of a job. An actor goes from job to job. By virtue, acting is an unsure profession.
I'm not going to do a film unless there's something in it to excite me.
I am not good with PR or in projecting a certain image of myself, and I don't give clarifications about rumours; that's it.
I'm passionate about my work.
At the end of the day, it's a business; people want to make money. That's the intention with every film. It happens for some movies. For others, it doesn't.
If I want to be a leading man in a film, box office numbers count because producers have invested money. I see no wrong in that process.
In 'Kalank,' I am playing a character, which is quite strong, quiet a little complex yet interesting, that drew me towards the character when I heard the narration from director Abhishek Varman.
When you are repeating your co-star, it's good to bring something new to the equation on screen.
I think live-in relationship works for a few people, and it doesn't for others. I have never done it, so I can't speak about the pros and cons. I don't know if that will work for me or not, but I am definitely not close to the idea. For an arrangement like that to succeed, one needs to have the right feeling for the right person.
Live-in relationships are common these days; that's why so many movies are being made on the subject.
By the time I finished my first three films, I realised this is something I want to do for a long time, learn, and grow in.
I look back - I think I am an accidental actor.
I am all about old school romance. I love everything about the classic relationships.
Don't let any issue carry over to the next day. Talk about it all before you hit the bed.
I find it tough to ride my bike around Bandra because people recognise me now.
It's a good addition to get a female perspective.
I would like to believe that I would have made a good cricketer.
I believe in the institution of marriage. I want to get married and start a family.
Once I like something, I will eat it again and again.
There are a couple of stories that I have in my head for which I feel like I should collaborate with people. So yes, if I would like to direct, I would also like to write whatever I direct.
Every young actor wants this feeling of being the solo lead in a film.
I have been in relationships, and I felt that I was in love, but I don't know if love lasts forever.
