I personally adore the festival of Dussehra, as its a celebration of our culture and mythological legacy. I celebrate, almost, all my festivals with Life OK, be it Holi or Diwali or Dussehra. It's like a festive home for me.

There are many dreams which I never wanna wake up from. Actually, I don't like waking up, full stop. So no matter what the dream is, I just don't wanna wake up and get out of bed.
I have hosted many shows in the past. Anchoring is something I really enjoy; hence, when I was offered to host the show 'Super Dancer,' I was excited to take it up.
I am a very bad cook.
I'd rather say that had the going not been tough, perhaps it wouldn't have been as enjoyable.
I'm excited to be part of the world's biggest dance show. What attracted me towards the show, apart from its global popularity, was the format of street versus stage.
Even when I was in Dubai, I used to host small birthday parties, events, and lots more to make money of my own to fulfil my wish to become an actor. I didn't take any money from my parents to fulfil my dream.
I had this one dear friend in college who was a chain smoker. His smoking habits led him to major health problems. That's the time I remember telling him to let go. And after a point, he did listen to me and gave up smoking.
'Bigg Boss' is one show that I can never be a part of. I am very restless as a person, so keeping me locked won't be a good idea.
Popularity matters a lot, as at the end of the day, the love of your audiences can make you win.
I'd like to be part of out-of-the-box films like 'Shahid.' I see myself being part of realistic cinema.
'Yeh Hai Aashiqui - Siyappa Ishq Ka' has become a part of who I am. I will be narrating the stories, and as a narrator, I get to experience each story up close and personal and go through the same range of emotions as the characters.
I don't think anyone can even come close to the beauty of Madhuri Dixit.
I adopted a pet because I have been wanting one for the longest time. In fact, I am really close to Ravi Dubey's dog Moyo.
The feeling of actually being with someone you love at that moment is completely different than a video afterwards.
Be it 'Dare 2 Dance,' 'Man vs. Job,' or 'I Can Do That,' I have always taken up projects that is innovative. I want to try out different things, as that gets me going.
I'm extremely delighted to host the special show 'Dussehra - Jeet Sachchai Kee', which will celebrate the spirit of good over evil. The show will be filled with a heavy dose of entertainment as renowned celebrities from across popular television shows will be joining in the celebrations and saluting the spirit of righteousness.
I never chose something just for the money.
I love the fact that people love my work, and they love me as who I am. I think I am pretty blessed, and I am glad I am in this position, and I am really happy about that.
As an actor, you should always keep your trump card hidden from your audience. I want the audience to keep expecting more and more from me. I want to do 'different' work - good and memorable roles - so that audience appreciate me more. That's why I love to surprise my audience with something they never expect me to do.
'Aye Zindagi' is a show which is about stories inspired by real-life incidents. You might be able to relate to these stories, as it can be about anyone around you.
As a person, I am not really someone who would intervene and tell you to do the right thing.

I never thought I would end up wearing heels someday.
I share my personal experiences of what is right according to me in a particular situation.
Love is everything for me. It's the way of life. It's the way of expressing and way of breathing for me.
Love is not just about love for your girlfriend, boyfriend, husband, or wife. Love, for me, is the love for my work, family, and even friends. The emotion is very strong. It comes with a lot of responsibilities.
I've been always clear that I wouldn't do TV soaps just for the sake of doing them. I would rather wait and work on projects which enable me to make an impact.
One of the major things in any dance-based reality show is how smartly you can impress the audience and keep your cool throughout the show.
I believe that a web series allows actors the freedom to express their views.
I think I have balanced hosting and acting pretty well.
As an actor, I feel there isn't much to explore on TV. So, if I get better work as a host, why wouldn't I do it?
The only pressure you put on yourself is the one you want to. No one else can pressurise you.
I am all for TV, but I want to be part of shows that stand out.
I feel these shows allow you to be yourself, this is why I like to be part of them. Also, reality shows have a much bigger reach and provide a bigger platform for an actor.
I am on the lookout for smart scripts and stories where my role has weightage.
I would not want to be a part sass-bahu sagas. These are not realistic, and it gets tough for me to relate to my role.
It's important for fans to follow only verified accounts of actors. For instance, I am not on Facebook, but I know that many people are running accounts on my name, claiming to be me. Young girls end up liking such dubious pages and get swayed by the activities that happen there.
Even when I interact or meet my fans during events, I let them know of my actual Twitter handle so that they are not taken advantage of by anybody online pretending to be me.
I believe now the industry has seen a different side of me. They have seen me in advertisements, they have seen me act, and now they have seen me as an all-rounder, complete with my dancing ability.

I never have such luxury of leisure time. But whenever I get some time, I catch up on watching movies, keep going to theatre to watch plays, gigs of my actor friends.
My name is not really a common one, but people always tend to mix it up, which is quite embarrassing! As there have been incidents where I would be all ready to go on stage for my performance, and the host would say, 'Ladies and gentlemen please welcome Mr Rithik.' And, I would have to remind them that it isn't Rithik but Rithvik!
I like to learn from everyone I perform with. I have learnt a lot from Paritosh Tripathi, my co-anchor on 'Super Dancer,' and also my good friend Ravi Dubey.
If you want to evolve and reinvent yourself, you will need to observe people and explore a lot.
'I Can Do That' has been the most challenging show of my life, and the result has been overwhelming. It is good to know I will be in the history as the first winner of the season of the show.
