Shahid:my lazy Sundays

• My Sundays… are not defined as 'holidays'. But if I'm not working, I don't get up before 12 noon.

• Five newspapers… come home every morning. And I begin my Sunday by breezing through them. Breakfast follows a sequence - I eat fruit, badams and a protein shake. Breakfast, television, lazing around, it's all done together.

• I usually bathe after lunch… on Sundays. That's my luxury.

• I visit my dad… who stays in my building, and chill with him. Most often I lunch with dad. And there are usually a couple of fattening things on his table, which I try to avoid. But I'm forced to have at least one fatty item. Dad says, 'It's a holiday today. And you've lost weight. So eat.' And I do. It could be samosas, ice-cream, anything.

• My dog is a vegetarian... He's grown used to eating my food. In the afternoons, I spend some time with him.

• Downloading music… is usually reserved for Sundays. I spend time on my laptop doing this.

• I catch movies at theatres... on Sundays. I love watching light movies, not depressing ones. When you work so hard, on an off day you want to laugh a little, and just chill.

• Sometimes I enter the kitchen… and make chai and parathas. I don't eat either of these, but I still make them for others.😛 I usually go into the kitchen to see whether everything is in place. Inevitably the staff leave stuff which is a week old in the fridge. I check the fridge and throw these out.

• My best friend, Sriram… is my Sunday mate. We chill, go for a movie, hang-out together. He's the only person in the world with whom I've stayed connected all along.

• How would I like my Sunday to end? By getting a call from my secretary telling me that my call time on the sets the next morning is after lunch. Then I go to sleep knowing that I can get up late.
