Vigilant Parmeet
My best friend: Apart from my wife, it is Apurva Agnihotri.
One thing no one knows about me: I observe a lot and am constantly making mental notes about things.
If I weren't an actor: There's a long list of things I would do—be a restaurateur since I love food and meet people, be a producer, director, writer or anything associated with the creative field, be a businessman since I was into garment exports earlier.
My dream role: Dilip Kumar in 'Gopi' and 'Ram Aur Shyam'
What turns me on: Mental stimulation—a good conversation with a point of view that is intelligent.
My recent buy: Nokia N73 for my wife and myself.
What I love and hate about my profession: I love the fact that being an actor saves us from standing in queues for anything. But I hate the fact that I can't spend much time at home with my family.
My food fetish: Mutton biryani and rajma chawal made by my mother. Archana makes excellent sandwiches.
I'd be lost without: A purpose in life! I wanted to make a name for myself in the industry and that keeps me going.
Last time I was on a high: This morning when I was practicing the Sudarshan Kriya (Art of Living) as it does wonders to me.
