I’m a sportsman. I am used to failures, and bouncing back from them."

I’m shy and open up to very few people.

I felt cheated because a lot of people wanted a relationship with my father, and they played me.

Finally, 'Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu' happened. The director had doubts if a city-bred, fair-looking boy would fit the role of a village kabbadi player.

I had a mixture, my father was a career army man and my mother was a writer.

A fan requested me for a photo, after which he made his whole family click photos with me, and while leaving, he told his family that I was Katrina Kaif!

I also have a degree in marriage, family and child counseling - I'm a therapist.

I worked with women who were nurses and workers, women who worked in hotels, janitors who basically cleaned buildings, worked two jobs just to support their family. And, it really taught me a lot about how much opportunity I had to do anything I wanted to with my life.
