Comfort and simplicity are two keys that I follow when it comes to fashion.

I am diabetic. So diet control is a pre-given for me.
My father is pretty much a self-made man, and I am proud of that. He was born in Patiala and crossed the border from India to Pakistan when he was four.
I was born in Karachi, where my father used to work in the sales department of a pharmaceutical company. The nature of his job required him to travel, so we moved to Athens, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Riyadh and then went to Manchester during the Gulf War, moving back to Lahore closer to my father's retirement.
I am an immature person, and I am very lazy, too.
I observe a lot, and I try to pick out what looks good on me. I like to keep it basic and simple. Never too flashy. Remember, whatever suits you is the best, and it doesn't necessarily have to be the trend or the rave of the season.
I read the 'Kapoor & Sons' script in a half hour, forty five minutes. Not because I skimming through it... I read it like a book. By the end, I was blown away. I picked up the phone and said, 'This script is gold.'
One must be prepared for some surprises in life - some things will work out your way, some won't. You just have to keep working and do things to the best of your ability.
The time I'm truly happy is when I'm playing with my son. We just mentally connect. There's nothing more fulfilling than playtime with him.
I was part of a metal and rock band, and I performed in front of 3000 to 4000 people for many years. I was the loudest mouth up there on stage. We would be screaming, head-banging and mass venting. We would all vent our feelings together, which is ideal as compared to participating in political and social forums, and I never felt any restrictions.
If I get into something, I get into it for the pure joy of it.
As any professional, you go where your work takes you.
Being trendy is alright, but clubbing all the trends in one look is a complete no.
With social media, I think it becomes a little more intrusive. People have more access to you. It's obviously very flattering, all the love and affection that you get, and then there's also the downside of it: sometimes things don't go your way.
From the time I've landed in India and wherever I've travelled, I've only experienced politeness and courtesy. There has been no hatred whatsoever. But I strongly feel every country has its formalities and rules that one has to abide by. I believe in respecting that, as it is in the best interests of everyone.
Obviously, I'm not a man of steel in that people's words don't affect me. They might hurt me. But I am becoming immune to it as time goes by.
If I'm going to talk about something, I need to be educated about it, and I need to have seen all the perspectives.
I was diagnosed with diabetes mellitus Type 1.
I can't even begin to describe what kind of a response 'Humsafar' got. Personally, I feel my other show, 'Zindagi Gulzar Hai,' was better, but it didn't match the success of 'Humsafar.'
I'm a quiet person. It's only when I am cued to talk that I talk. Otherwise, I'm reserved and a bit of a recluse.
Everyone has different interests, but instead of constructive learning, people generally tend to lean towards the negative... and I think social media has somehow given fuel to this kind of thinking.
I have the gift of the gab, can talk and perform, but so can others. I can only attribute it to the fact that somebody up there likes me: it's remote-controlled by God.
I am the kind of person who likes taking one step at a time and raising the bar with each film.
I feel - and this goes back to social media and freedom of speech - when you're on a public platform, and you put something out there in front of people who don't know you, they might just perceive it in a very different way altogether.
A lot of men tend to mix a couple of fragrances and smell like a flower garden. Avoid!
I think I've managed to Forrest Gump my way though life.
As a musician, I have sung, composed, and played instruments, and a lesser-known fact is that I have composed 20-30 ad jingles as well.
Men are naturally barbarians, and that will remain forever. The passion, the love, and the lust is intensifying with time.
As an individual, I've learnt a lot about life - some things that proved to be helpful and some things I wish I never knew.
There is no comparison between the life of a rock star and an actor. If I could now, I would be a rock star within a blink of an eye. So as far as music is concerned, yeah, I might just go back to it, but don't want to be unfair to it. It requires its proper time and space.
Remember, the fit of your outfit can make or break your look. Ensure the fit is perfect, and you will be just fine.
I believe you can do a lot even if you have a 15-minute part in a project.
During college, I didn't really have an interest in what I was studying. It was during college that I first stumbled into forming an underground band where I was the lead vocalist. I had always had an ear for music, but nothing more than that. And that good ear of mine led me to learn and play a lot of instruments while in college.
Fans are half of an artiste... without someone to appreciate him, an artiste is nothing.
I self-taught myself music at 19-20.
Bollywood was never on my to-do list. It just happened.
I think there comes a time when you start dropping expectations. Because the world doesn't owe you anything, and you don't owe the world anything in return. Things, feelings, are a very simple transaction. If you get it, be grateful. If you don't, be alright with it.
'Khoobsurat' was an eye-opener in many ways. Cinema is a colossal money-churning business in India, and working in that environment offered me quite an incredible learning experience.
It's a great feeling to be admired... what can I say? It's a warm, gooey feeling.
There is so much to learn that I find the entire debate that Pakistani actors shouldn't work elsewhere senseless. By working in other countries, we're able to move out of our comfort zones, learn more, and bring that back to our own industry.
I like playing characters in the real world.
Whenever you move to a new atmosphere, the first few days are difficult. But I always felt that an actor needs to move out of his comfort zone and experience different working environments. And that's why I was looking at moving out of my own comfort zones and work with different kinds of people. It helps you grow as an actor.
I was 17 when I first acted on stage. I was a part of an Urdu adaptation of 'Spartacus' in the titular role.
I have always been the black sheep of the family. I am the middle child, with an older and a younger sister.
My wife is not insecure at all. She is one of the most sensible persons I know.
Almost every story has a romantic angle to it.
I don't like it when people remain glued to their phones while talking, so I have no apps on mine.
I like to discuss my condition publicly because if I, with this disability, am able to fulfill some of my ambitions, so can other diabetics.
If one wants to take a stand on something, one must be very educated about it.
I do give interviews, but I am generally media-shy because I am an introvert by nature.
