In Teen Deewarein you play a jealous husband. Are you one? I used to be possessive about my woman to the point of going crazy —- it’s only natural. I nearly punched a friend once when he kissed my wife on the cheek at a social event. What’s with all this pecking anyway? I’ve learnt to restrain myself for my wife’s sake and play it cool. Ayesha’s career as a film producer does seem to be peaking with Boom. It’s her dream and I want to do everything to help. Ayesha’s more liberal than I am. For so many years she let me move around in this industry without complaining—now it’s my time to stand by her and let her work. Many recent films, including Boom, have flirted with oral sex.

As teenagers, we used to watch the bushes shaking so violently and let our imagination run wild. Today films are a bit more real. We’ve always said Boom’s an entertaining, masala film—for adults.
