Stars' obsession!
We all have quirks that just don't go away. It could be being fanatical about germs or compulsively having to have things in a certain order. In serious cases it is called an obsessive-compulsive disorder where an individual is disturbed by obsessive thoughts and performs rituals to counteract his anxiety. We asked our stars to share some of the things they are absolutely obsessive about and they tell you why they could well be obsessive-compulsive...

I get obsessive about tidiness! If a certain thing is not in its place it bothers me to no end. If a glass of water is too close to the edge of a table I have to shift it more inside. I know it's not going to fall but I get totally freaked out that someone will tip it over and drop it. Even if I'm sleeping and I see it I have to get up because I get bothered so much. At parties I've noticed that people who drink always keep their glasses at the edge of the bar. I've walked all the way from across the room to put glasses away from the edge!
Another thing I'm paranoid about is smoking in bed. When my friends come over I'm constantly dusting my bed in case there is any ash on it. They smoke and I literally hold the ash tray under their chins so that no ash falls down.

I cannot get up in the morning and not have my one cup of tea and read all the newspapers. Without that I just cannot get out of bed. If anyone else reads the papers before me they have to make sure they put them back in the same exact place and iron them as well! This is one thing I do every single day. Whether I am shooting at 9 or 6 or even 4 in the morning I wait for my newspapers to come so I can read them. Sometimes when I'm traveling it isn't possible to get the papers and that makes me very unsettled. I'd say I'm quite obsessive about this.

I've very finicky about keeping my hands and feet clean. If I touch anything which is not very familiar I go and wash my hands immediately! I wash them several times a day. It's mostly because I have many dogs at home so it's a habit to keep washing my hands but even if I'm out I end up washing my hands a lot. I just have to keep them clean. I can't walk barefoot anywhere because I just can't stand it. I don't like my feet getting dirty and wash them all the time too. I carry hand sanitizer with me and even after using it I have to run water over my hands.

I am very particular about cleanliness and keeping things at their right place. I don't like disorder at home. I clean my house myself and make sure my clothes are washed right and kept by in the right place. I section my clothes by colour and put them in the washing machine and then I iron them properly and put them back. I can't stand when my sister doesn't keep her clothes back! She's a little lazy and I keep telling her but she doesn't listen which gets me irritated. I do have help around the house but I love doing housework. When I have a holiday you'll always see me doing chores around the house and putting everything in order.

I'm obsessive about keeping my old clothes. I just can't throw clothes out. I have clothes that I had in college still with me so that's a really long time! I convince my wife that fashion always moves in cycles so what I have now may come back in style 5 years from now. I'm lucky because I haven't changed in shape or size since then.

I don't like to wake up late in the morning. I feel very upset and hate myself if I do.
I don't let late nights happening often. I like to sleep on time and wake up on time so I make sure I do that. I am a disciplinarian and love to maintain order. Getting up late takes the control away from me and my day so the earlier the better. Otherwise I'm a pretty balanced guy.

When I lock my car I have to go and check whether it's been locked properly. I am aware when I lock it but when I walk away I'm compelled to go back and check the door handle. That is my routine with it. I lock it, walk away and then walk to the back door and pull the handle.
As a kid I had some strange quirks too. Walking home from school I would think that a bus on the road had to coincide with me when walking past a tree or else. There were funny things like that which used to bother me but luckily I've grown out of it!
