Aditya Roy Kapur

Even when I was doing supporting roles, I always had this belief that one day the opportunity to play a lead would come my way.

As actors, when we keep working every day, after a point of time, we just know all our emotional cards and how to play them.

I like training alone. Otherwise, I find I get too dependent on someone else for motivation.

Now that I have joined Instagram, I think I'm on it less than before. Earlier, I used to be there all the time. I'm enjoying it because it's where you have complete control on what you're putting out, as you want it. I don't feel there's a compulsion to be active.

If a film does not do well, there is a certain period when you do feel low. It affects you because you put in a lot of effort.

People have been writing songs and poems since the time we had brains.

By the time I finished my first three films, I realised this is something I want to do for a long time, learn, and grow in.

What normally we see is the finished product, someone's performance on screen, but behind the scenes, a lot goes into it.

When I was young, in my early films, the freshness, and the raw element in my presence on-screen was coming from my youth, and that naturally goes away with time. But the challenge of an actor is to retain the wonder and innocence alive.

The dos are drink lots of water, get enough fibre and carbs as well, as they are important. The don'ts are don't be too extreme with any diet; it can really end up harming your system and immunity.

When you are repeating your co-star, it's good to bring something new to the equation on screen.

As an actor, technically, when you are off a film, you are out of a job. An actor goes from job to job. By virtue, acting is an unsure profession.
