To be very honest, the day I met Neha was a life-changing moment and then after I married her. She has been a blessing in disguise.

You are an inspiration for many, who is your inspiration?

My parents and always will. Rest you learn on the job and today my son amazes me almost every day.

You are a perfectionist. Being a perfect actor, you also emerged as a winner of Khatron Ke Khiladi. So, what keeps you motivated to give your best in everything you pick up? Or is there something else you want to try?

I would love to do films next having said that I am in a very happy space workwise. I have done almost everything and I want to continue doing this plus add a lot more to it. Apart from all this, my son keeps me motivated and all I want to do is to make him proud.

A life incident or something that holds a very special place in your heart?

Marriage is the most beautiful thing and I am blessed to get married to the love of my life, Neha. So, our marriage holds a very special place in my heart. Along with this, is the birth of the little bundle of joy, my son, Ayaan.

It’s a treat to watch you on screen. So apart from that, how do you like to spend your day? What are your hobbies?

I love to spend my time at home or have friends come over or go out with family and friends or take a vacation or shop.

How do you maintain a balance between your personal and professional life?

Well, you know, where there’s a will, there’s a way. Both are equally important to me so I manage my time for both.

Your upcoming projects?

Roohaniyat, which has just been released. It’s a quite competitive industry, so what do you feel about that competition?. It’s always welcome. I feel that competition helps me to keep inventing myself.
