# “I don’t believe in luck. I am a self-made man. I believe in my talent and hard work.”

# “I am lazy unless I am passionate about something. I sign films that fuel my passion, and that’s why I give 200%! As an actor, I am very proactive. I believe in homework, in rehearsals, and in following up with consistency.”

# “Aamir Khan is an inspiration. He is a hands-on actor, and I am very comfortable with him. His achievements have strangely made him very humble and easy to work with, which is a boon!”

# “I came into this line of work because this is my passion, and my dream. I definitely knew in my heart that I would be good at whatever I put my heart and soul into. Success is not a divine phenomenon. It rests firmly in your ability and ambition.”
