“Deep down inside, I am still a Delhi boy. My upbringing happened there,” says the Kapoor & Sons (2016) actor, who has spent 20 years of his life in the capital city. Hence, it is natural that he feels an emotional connect to his native place. He adds, “When it comes to spending my free time, I start missing Delhi because my family is there, and I don’t have anybody here. I wish I could spend my holidays there, and work in Mumbai.”

However, he likes the energy of Mumbai. Most actors who have come to the city to pursue their acting dreams, and made a name for themselves in the film industry, have completely settled in here. “There is a certain infectious energy in people who work here. It just inspires you to be on the top of your game. Everyone’s always on the run all the time,” says the actor.

The actor will next be seen in Reload (co-starring Jacqueline Fernandez) and the adaptation of Ittefaq (co-starring Sonakshi Sinha).
