I feel you can be down and out but if you are determined, nothing can stop you from winning.
Siddharth Shukla
It's important that we treat our bodies with respect because it's what we have to make do with as long as we live.
I am a morning person and the first task for me in the morning is to hit the gym.
I don't have a type. I am more of a sapiosexual person. The girl has to be intelligent.
I am the last person on Earth who can be diplomatic. I say what I actually feel.
I mean there's something I have achieved in life, even if it's little, and if people write about it, then it's fine.
I wake up at 5:30 and head to the gym and reach the sets by 8:30. So there is nothing to write about me. But people have to say something, so they make up some gossip. It's okay I guess.
Reality shows make you more bold and you learn new skills like dancing, anchoring.
I was a child who was interested in sports, and represented my school in football, cricket, badminton and table tennis.
In 'BV,' every actor's performance touches your heart. The team on the show is dedicated, which inspires me a lot.
Web series are a way forward. It is a space where creative minds can express themselves without the fear of censor board.
I don't mind falling in love with an actress. I don't have any reservations.
Balika Vadhu' is the best thing to have happened to me.
hooting for 'Savdhaan India' in Mathura made me realise that no matter what place you come from be it a holy city, crime still prevails.
Link-ups go hand-in-hand with TV shows. You do a show and you get linked with your co-star.
I have never decided on how to plan my career moves.
I sleep early and I don't party.
My lunch is the staple Indian meal - rotis, vegetables and dal. But instead of wheat rotis, I have rotis made of bran or barley.
I love to dance, but the flip side is that I can't dance.
Since I have already connected with fans on TV, I don't fear losing out on my movie fans, even if I am away from the silver screen for a long time.
TV is one of the biggest mediums, and over time, it will get bigger.
I enjoy coming to Ahmedabad. The city is really awesome and people here are warm and hospitable.
To be honest, I am very comfortable with myself.
I have been a pampered boy, the youngest in the family with two elder sisters. I have always had someone around me, usually my mom, to take care of everything for me.
I am only looking forward to good film script. It doesn't matter if the role is a supporting or a standalone role.
This entire journey from 'Balika' to 'Jhalak' to 'Humpty' has been a dream.
I am not one of those actors who will abandon my flagship serial, my main claim to fame, just because I've done a hit movie.
After my debut film, I was doing reality shows and hosting so it was not that I had nothing else to do.
I don't have any issue with people seeing my real self.
As a model, only a limited number of people knew about me.
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 6' was the turning point in my career.
I have a confession to make - I am very fond of junk food.
Trying times will begin when I will take up my second film as that's when people will take me more seriously. I will have to prove myself too.
There was a time when I really wanted to do films, but they didn't come my way. I would come close and the next day suddenly I'd realise that I am not a part of the film anymore. So that's how television happened.
I want my future wife or girlfriend to be herself.
I have been tagged mischievous since childhood and was known as a prankster.
My work will speak for me. In fact, I never had a PR and I still don't.
What I look for in a girl is honesty.
I am really grateful to 'Balika Vadhu' for the recognition I have got because of it. People know me and like me because of it.
I feel blessed to be working with a banner like Dharma Productions.
My only problem, and this has been a constant worry on television, is time management. The deadlines on television are killing.
Television is growing. It is a huge market for great content.
I am not a dancer and for me, to learn the art is fun. It gives you the confidence that you can dance.
I can't take up every film that is being offered to me.
India's Got Talent' is one of the biggest platforms for talent across the world.
Films are something that happened by chance.
Humpty' was something I had to do. I had to stretch myself as an actor.
As for me I may not have relatives in the film industry. But I grew up in Mumbai as an avid moviegoer. So I don't feel like an outsider.
Amitabh Bachchan's role in 'Deewar'… I'd love to do that if someone does a remake.
I come from a school of thoughts where I actually don't plan anything.
