Yuvi v/s Raj:
Initially, I couldn't identify with the character at all, but the crossover between the two has happened effectively. I have a lot of Yuvi in me today and a lot of Raj has become a part of Yuvi's character.
Saas Bahu v/s reality:
I really want to work with Ekta Kapoor and do the entire dutiful, young, doting husband thing!
Three of the craziest things that have happened while shooting for Remix:
1. Dropped Tia during the trust game thing that we played
2. Drowned Anvesha
3. Punched Sid
Errr… just for the record, they were all accidents!
On politics today:
I really admire Dr Manmohan Singh and have tremendous regard for him, but I believe the BJP should have come back to power for five more years at least. Mr Vajpayee was brilliant.
Harry Potter craze:
One must give all the credit to J K Rowling for getting kids hooked to reading once again.

Usual Suspects, Seven, Closer, Lawrence of Arabia, The Matrix, Truman Show, All of Oliver Stone's Films, American Beauty, Padosan..
