'Actors are most pampered children of God' - Anas Rashid

A song that always makes you happy-
Baahon Ke Darmiyan

One household chore that you absolutely hate…
Hitting cockroaches. Every single day I've been doing it and now I'm really tired of it!

Do you always like to look your best?
Not always, sometimes I feel lazy and just let it be.

Which TV shows do you usually watch?
I used to watch Balika Vadhu but not anymore. Nowadays while browsing channels if there's any good scene going on I catch it and don't view any show regularly.

Favorite Ice-cream flavor?
Anjeer (Fig)

Do you break signals in a hurry?
Actually even when I'm not in a hurry, I tend to break signal but only when the road is clear of pedestrians. Actually it's an old habit from my Chandigarh days where me and my friends used to get a high by breaking signals. There the cops are very strict and when we did it, we had a very egoistical sense of achievement (laughs).

Anything you like to collect?
Yes, DVDs of foreign films. I can go to any lengths to get the one I want. If I like a foreign film then I'll call my friends all across the world and somehow get it.

Top three things on your wish list.
I want my show to do well, buy a house in Mumbai before the year ends and do a film.

Favorite hangout place.
Carter Road, Bandra. Very youthful and full of liveliness.

Do you try to interpret dreams?
No I just enjoy them and wait for the next good one (smiles).

If given a choice for your next birth, what would you like to be- Astronaut, Actor or Architect?
Definitely an actor. Because as an actor I'll get to play the other two roles too. Being an actor lets you pursue other dreams too. I feel we actors are the most pampered children of God.

One piece of advice you'd like to pass on to the next generation.
Be healthy, stay positive and don't concentrate on the differences between human beings like religion, race, etc. but work with unity.

Your inspiration?
My inspiration is my mother. All of the mothers are special but my mom stands by me and actually speaks up for me in front of my friends and especially family members.
