Does competition with contemporaries bother you?
I like to compete with myself. I don’t consider myself competition for anyone. Everyone is doing a good job; that’s why they are where they are. I don’t get insecure. If others are doing well, it’s because of their destiny and hard work. Feeling jealous doesn’t make me a bigger star. All it gives me is resentment, and I don’t have time for that. I would rather focus on my work.

How important is it for actors to be active on social media?
I have been told by my fans, family and friends to be more active on social media. I am not. It’s not about sharing personal details; I just don’t think social media is attractive. I am not that guy. I am too boring a person to be on social media. I hardly go out. The last time I had dinner at a restaurant was three months ago. It gets tough, and I wonder what to write. I don’t think so much while acting, but I have to really think before I post something. My wife Vahbiz (Dorabjee; actor) pushes me to tweet or post on Instagram.

Tell us one thing that people don’t know about you.
I never get angry. I get irritated and if it gets too much, I walk out of the room. One needs to hardwire one’s brain to control oneself. I know that if I get angry, things will get worse. Things won’t be easy to manage, and it will take me a lot of time to come out of the situation.
