Neil Nitin Mukesh: "My first kiss was weird"
Filmfare catches Neil Nitin Mukesh is in a good mood as he discusses dating, women and relationships. Read on.
On a first date you….
Would make sure I do everything the girl likes. Pull out all stops.
On a second date you…
Would continue to pull out all stops
On a third date…
Arre enough of pulling out all the stops. It's time for lights, camera, action baby!
Do you remember your first crush?
Yes. Cliched as it sounds she was a girl in my class. I was painfully in love with her for a long time. I remember her face so clearly. Recently, I was informed she got married and has moved abroad.
And your first kiss?
My first kiss happened rather late in life, when I was in college. I am not sure how I feel about it. It was a little weird, wet and I actually felt it was an unhygienic thing to do.
When did you lose your virginity?
Hell, I lose it every year. The gaps are so long. Ha ha ha. I get re-virginised every year. Any girl would be lucky to have me.
What kind of boyfriend are you?
I am possessive, protective and expressive. And all I expect is love in return. I am low maintenance.
What's your current relationship status?
I am single but I also mingle.
Which of these industry girls do you want to date — Asin, Deepika Padukone or Sonam Kapoor?
Depends on who has the taste to choose me. Ha ha.
You are quite a girl's guy. Women seem to warm up to you pretty easily.
It helps when you are really close to an older sister and your mother. Also, a lot of my cousins are girls. I know a woman's mood swings very well. I am good with women and I don't mean that just romantically. Women are very comfortable around me. I am a good agony uncle. Plus, I don't kiss and tell.
Have you ever cheated in a relationship?
No. I set a lot of store by fidelity. I have never cheated on a solid, committed relationship.
What's your take on one-night stands?
I don't believe in them. I have never been in one, believe it or faint. But it could be interesting to be in a 'no strings attached' situation. I don't endorse it but I do find it intriguing.
Have you ever broken up on the phone?
No. That's sick. People who break up on the phone need to take a long good look at themselves. The least you can do is tell the person face to face.
Ever been on a blind date?
Nope. Unless you call dating Deepika in Lafangey Parindey a blind date. Because she's blind in the film. But I don't think I want to go on a blind date. For me going out with someone means I have a connection with them.
Would you marry an actress?
I don't know. I might. The thing is I am very possessive. I am not sure can watch my wife romance someone else on screen.
Arranged or love marriage?
I think I would like to have a love marriage arranged for me. Find a lovely girl that my parents would approve of and have that big fat Indian wedding. Everyone's happy.
