Fahadh Faasil

I never wanted to be an actor but ended up being one.

I enjoyed working on 'Maheshinte Prathikaram.'

I love the forest. It is the place where you hear yourself better.

The less people know about you, the more you understand how beautiful life is. It's good when you exist only on screen. I don't want them to take me home. I love to have my privacy.

The characters I portray are an extension of what I've seen, heard, or read, and so what you see in my films are how I understand life.

I've always wanted to do a role based on a real-life person.

I think it would be a dream for any actor to play someone like Changampuzha.

I want the audience to watch my films, and that is what I value more than any awards.

I would like to look funny on screen, doing comedy.

I trust my directors to see me through, for I don't consider myself as a natural actor - or a good one at that.

The closest encounter I had with films in my childhood was sitting on the lap of my father at a shooting set, and he would say 'rain,' and it started raining, and then he would say 'song,' and people started dancing. I thought I was sitting on God's lap.

People often ask whether marriage has changed me. I didn't marry because I had to change.
