Face to Face

What’s your DVD pick?

I am fond of war films like Behind Enemy Lines,action flicks like Rambo and the Godfather series.

Your favourite romantic scene in a movie?

When Julia Roberts leaves Richard Gere in Pretty Woman. It’s very sad and romantic. I also find the church scene in Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge quite romantic.

Which actor would you love to go on a date with and why?

Shah Rukh Khan would be the ideal date. He is very down to earth and yet the biggest star. I love the way he does romantic scenes.

Which dialogue have you mouthed in front of the mirror the most?

I am not obsessed with the mirror and have never really mouthed any dialogue in front of it.

Who inspired you to become an actor?

No one inspired me. It’s just a turn of events. I come from an army background and an academic-inclined family,so acting was not my primary career option.

The worst film you have ever watched?

A lot of forced comedies that are popular today,but I won’t name any.

Which film you wish you could be a part of?

Sholay; I would have loved to play Basanti.

What makes you an actor?

My observation skills are very strong and I tend to imbibe this in my acting. Also,the fact that I interact with the camera instead of posing makes me an actor. I am a natural,not a method actor.
