How girls react to you
I have always been closer to girls
than guys. My female friends like to take care of me and I
also go out of my way to do things for them. When it comes to my female fans they say that they love me. But I don't get carried away as I know that they like my screen characters. They don't know the real me. Recently when I was unwell, I got so many cards and calls from my female well- wishers. It gets me on cloud nine (laughs).
Your first date
It was in standard nine. I was a
very shy guy. She liked me and pursued me a bit. to date, I can't pursue a woman. My best friend was dating
her sister. So we got talking and started walking to school
together. One day we went for coffee followed by a movie and
then went home like good kids (laughs).
Your first crush
Zarine. She was an elegant girl and looked like a princess. We
got to know each other in standard 10. I think we liked each other but a slight misunderstanding happened.
Your most cherished compliment
Someone once told me that I make her want to be a good person.
Your wildest compliment
After one of my stage performances, a girl asked me for a piece of my clothing. I was stunned and just smiled at her. I think I just signed on her handkerchief after that.
Your idea on Love & romance...
Love is a double-edged sword. It is one of the most beautiful
things in the world. I go all out when I am in love. The girl becomes the focus of my existence. But the problem is I expect the same in return. If I don't get that then I feel very hurt. I'm very passionate. I'm a diehard romantic. Long drives, candlelit
dinners, dining, long walks on the beaches.
What if you fell short of money on a date?
I wouldn't embarrass my date and would request the manager if
I could pay later. But I would have no hassles if the girl insisted on paying and make it up to her later.
Your dream date
I haven't really thought about it but I think it would be
somewhere in Venice.
Would you dress to impress a girl?
No! I like to be myself. That should be impressive enough
(laughs).
I'm generally a jeans and T-shirt guy.
Flirtations...
I'm quite a physical person. I like to hug my female friends. Now if someone thinks I'm flirting then I can't help it
(laughs). I'm a healthy flirt. Most Virgos are that way. I
flirt with my girlfriends even when I'm in a relationship. But the girls know my intentions. Being a gentleman helps you to get away with a lot of things (laughs).
Marriage...
I regard it as a holy institution but I'm very apprehensive
about marriage. Your happiness depends on who your spouse is.
Your Dream woman...
She has to be a combination of
Liz Hurley for her beauty, Audrey Hepburn for her impishness,
Nafisa
Ali for her inner beauty, and Tabu for her simplicity.
