If you weren't an actor, you would have been...
A chef or a director.
If you could choose a classic film as your debut, which one would it be and why?
Chupke Chupke (1975). It was a hilarious movie.
The best thing about Bollywood.
That you meet new people who are creative and there's always so much to learn.
How much like 'Circuit' are you in life?
I'm not at all like him. He's obnoxious!
One song that describes your current state of mind.
Kabira from .
Your favourite co-star for a romantic film.
Not sure about that, but I do think that Deepika Padukone is outstanding.
Your 3am friend.
The photographer, Amit Ashar.
The best thing about marriage.
A couple's unconditional dependability on each other. And the kids.
Five things you can't live without?
My wardrobe, cell phone, iPad, haversack and hugs from my children.
Your favourite gadget.
At the moment it's my FuelBand (activity tracker) and my new iPhone 5s.
Your fitness regime.
I mostly do cardio and functional training. I also do weights twice a week.
How much has Bigg Boss changed from when you hosted Season One?
I think it's become way more competitive and dirtier now.
Your favourite midnight snack.
Chocolate.
A piece of advice you wish someone had given you 10 years ago.
Make your own decisions.
What turns you on?
Intelligence and humour.
What makes your day?
Chilling out at home, calling a few friends over for dinner and some good conversation.
What ruins it?
Plans getting canned.
The last line of your autobiography would read...
"Good night and God bless!"
