Aparshakti Khurana

Once I failed in cricket, I joined a law course, but when it also did not work out, it was another setback. When you get back-to-back failures, you automatically start to work harder in life.

The only thing I have tried to do is be a part of different films and bring out a different side of me as an actor every time I play a character. I would like to be known as a versatile actor.

There are a lot of people who approached me after 'Dangal' and 'Stree' to do films in lead roles with great money. But I don't want to rush into it. I want you to call me with a happy face that the film is rocking... And that will only happen if I make wise and patient decisions.

It's more important to be a good person than a good actor.

I know chances like 'Dangal' are rare. It's something that will be difficult to live down. But it's something I'll cherish for a lifetime.

I have always been a person who wanted to act. I have never dreamed about being a hero. I never think of a part as small or big. If I like a script I am offered, I immerse myself into the world it set in.

My modus operandi is to become a better actor.

I would call myself a radio performer who has just jumped in front of the camera and is very happy.

The best thing about working with Tahira bhabhi is her positivity and clarity about what she wants from you as an artist, an actor, and even as a brother-in-law. I think she is very clear about life, and that's what I love about her.

I give the credit of my success to my wife Aakriti, who keeps me going in life and inspires me in various ways.

Failure and rejection are important. Otherwise, you won't value success.

Films are never meant as solutions; they just provide entertainment value.
