I'm a realist. Where I come from, 'phenomenons' don't exist. I'm from a land where people make mistakes and try again, harder, faster; where negativity is not an option.

I'm glad that I'm being acclaimed as an actor. Today, when my hard work has paid off I can chill out about it.

If any of my characters require me to blacken my beard I do it, otherwise I don't.

It feels wonderful to be go back to the 1940s and recreate the whole era through my clothes, voice and body language. I am tired of playing the larger-than-life hero.

My love for sports will never die. I love martial arts and I want to promote it in whichever way I can. I am a fighter first, then an actor.

People want to see realism in action now. People want the actors to perform than the computers performing. Though I have done both, I enjoy the realism of action more.

Kareena Kapoor is my lucky charm
