Mirror caught up with the actor at Empire Studio where he was dubbing for a film. Excerpts:

After What's Your Rashee where did you disappear?
My father (filmmaker Harry Baweja) asked me if he should make a film for me. But I decided to take a break. I wanted some time and space for myself.

...to get over the break-up with Priyanka Chopra?
No, I was trained to handle break-ups since my college days. Priyanka and I still chat once in a while. She sent me a complimentary text after watching the promo of Dishkiyaaoon.

Will you sign a film with Priyanka today?
If it is a great script, why not?

And Bipasha Basu's ex John Abraham?
Why not! But I'll have to hit the gym doubly hard to match John's fitness.

After Bipasha broke up with John, how much of a help were in getting over the heartbreak?
As much of a help as she was to me.

How did Bipasha come into your life?
I knew her socially, but at Bachchan Sir's (Amitabh Bachchan) 70th birthday bash, something clicked and we wanted to meet each other again. She is a lively and caring person. Slowly our feelings changed to love.

Are you guys planning to get married this year?
(Long pause) We shall make an announcement when the time is right.

Would you like to change anything about Bipasha?
If someone is as emotional as her, the other person in the relationship needs to be equally sensitive with her.

Shahid Kapoor and you were buddies, but stopped talking to each other after he got involved with Priyanka. Now suddenly, you are as thick as thieves...
We have a common friend circle and started interacting again. Everything is fine again.

Tired of the Hrithik Roshan lookalike comments?
People obviously saw some resembled him. (Shrugs) I can't change the way I look. Thank God, all that's behind me now. Right now I'm looking forward to Dishkiyaoon in which I play a gangster with a heart. The director Sanamjit Singh Talwar has done a great job. Dad gave some inputs too.

What's your dad doing these days?
He is gearing up to direct an animation film based on Guru Gobind Singhji's four sons.

Is this for his movie promotion?

awww...unlike some people, I'm glad he didn't deny his relationship with Bipasha 👏
