Q. Tell us three things we don't know about you.
I'm a closet DJ, I can really make mean ass butter chicken and that I constantly need to use a hand sanitizer.
Q. Pick one: Love, booze or a one-night stand.
Q. What's your perfect girl like?
I should be the centre of her Universe. She should obviously have the looks, personality and everything that excites me. And she should be the centre of my Universe too.
Q. Deepika Padukone's pretty perfect?
Deepika's a giving person. She's not someone who's caught up with herself. I find it refreshing when someone talks more about you than herself.
Q. And Anushka Sharma?
Anushka has got a good heart. The best thing about Anushka is her honesty. She's probably the most honest person I've come across in my life. That translates into her acting, which is why she comes up with brilliance.
Q. What would happen when you realise that your 'legendary' Hindi songs collection is wiped out from your iPod?
My heart just sank as you spoke. I'd freak out. And if you got to know that your ex-girl friend was to blame for it? I'd set her car on fire.
Q. Are you a possessive lover?
Oh! I'm totally possessive by nature. I have to consciously make an effort to control that side of me. Because if I don't temper it; it can get unhealthy.
Q. Has anyone ever cheated on you?
Maybe, but technically no. It was like the Ross and Rachel thing in Friends - 'it's a complicated' phase we all go through.
Q. Ever had a one-night stand?
Q. How many?
(Smiles and whispers) More than one.
Q. Have you hurt someone?
Unintentionally. Unintentionally. Unintentionally.
Q. Has someone hurt you in love?
Q. How do you deal with it?
I find other sources of joy like my family or by being involved with someone else romantically.
Q. What's your idea of a romantic date?
Good music, good conversation and good food.
Q. Do you get intimidated at the thought of proposing?
Nah! I do it all the time. I have no qualms about it; I'll do it now to you if you say so'
Q. Is marriage really important?
I'm confused about it. If you ask me do I want to have kids? I'm dying to have them and love them to bits. For their sake, marriage is important. You need to have a mother and a father to raise a child right.
Q. Are you a mama's boy?
One hundred and ten per cent. If there would ever be an example of a mama's boy, it's me.
Q. What are the typical 'boy' traits you possess?
I have all the traits of a typical guy. I need time to spend with my boys every week or two. I have to watch sports, play video games. I love cars, boy toys and of course I'm crazy about women. (Laughs) One outstanding trait is that I'm nuts about women.
Q. Women think with their hearts and men with their..?
Men with their..? (Winks) You tell me. I get what you say but I'm not like most men'.
Q. But you are quite the Casanova?
(Grins sheepishly) Really? Am I?
Q. You'd rather be the friend or the flirt?
Q. Has a man ever hit on you?
Q. How do you react to them?
I'm not phobic so it doesn't bother much. I just tell them politely that I don't swing that way. That's it.
Q. What's the wildest thing you've ever done?
Can't you tell I would have countless stories? You should ask my friends though, they'll tell you all. But I don't know what qualifies as wild, does public nudity qualify?
Q. What's the weirdest thing a fan has done for you?
Getting me an expensive gift. It was a gold chain, I didn't know the value. I had to get it valued to know its worth. So out of obligation I had to gift something in return too.
Q. How would you deal with a guy who messes with your sister?
I'd kick his ass, in a way that he'd never forget.
Q. What's the one thing your sister keeps nagging you about?
She believes I'm quirky. And that I have to temper my personality to appeal to everyone and that I don't hesitate to play high stakes.
Q. What were sibling wars like?
I don't remember what we used to fight over but we used to fight a lot. We used to have some bad fights. In retrospect they're not even fond memories for us to laugh over. They were serious.
Q. Who initiated them most of the times?
My sister used to trouble me a lot more. For many, many years she drove me up the wall. Then for two to three years at a stretch I annoyed the daylights out of her. From there on it was all neutral. But now she spoils me. I don't think anyone can spoil anyone as much.
Q. How do you spend leisure?
I watch DVDs, play video games, spend time with friends and family. I also enjoy spending time with myself.
Q. Are you a gadget freak?
I wouldn't say freak, but yes I like gadgets.
Q. Which actress have you had huge a crush on?
Madhuri Dixit. Sonali Bendre and Raveena Tandon too. Actually all of them at some point.
Q. Which car do you drive?
Jaguar XJL. I just bought it.
Q. What kind of music do you listen to?
I listen to a lot of hardcore music. My choice of music isn't mainstream. Otherwise, I listen to a lot of different genres. From Electronica, hip-hop, dub-step, heavy metal, rock, pop, Hindi, the likes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Prodigy, Pink Floyd, U2...
Q. What's your favourite cuisine?
Chinese. I don't really visit too many restaurants. Nor do I frequent the fancy ones. I'd prefer smaller set ups where they're known for one special dish.
Q. Favourite party destinations?
Goa. Or even America so that I can meet all my college friends there. That would be fun!
Q. Any fetish?
Showers. I can't sit around without a shower for too long.
Q. What's your dream car?
Q. What's your dream house like?
A mansion with a pool, a home theatre, a play ground, a multi-sports facility and it has to be by the beach.
Q. What irks you?
Petty politics. I hate it.
Q. If you irked Dolly Bindra and she came marching at you'
I would charm the pants off her; make her take a 360 degree turn. By the way don't underestimate my charm.
