His role as Aditya Kashyap in Jab We Met is still fresh in public memory, but now  returns to try his luck with his new film Kismet Konnection opposite Vidya Balan.
Q: Destiny is the theme of your film. How much do you personally believe in ‘kismet’ yourself?

A: Very strongly indeed. Everything happens on time and no one can fight destiny.

Q: Is this also a role that people will identify with, just like they did with Aditya?

A: I do think that people will identify with this role very well. While on one hand, Aditya in Jab We Met was serious, introvert, quiet and brooding, this guy in Kismet Konnection is the opposite. He is talkative and he is on the run all the time. He is a much more entertaining and fun character. He is an extrovert. It was a refreshing character to play as an actor.

Q: When you were watching Tashan, were you laughing?

A: Not really. (Laughs) I know that anything that I say about the film will become something large. There were portions of it that I liked. Honestly. (Laughs again) A lot of hard work goes into every film. One must not negate that for personal reasons. Things go right sometimes and sometimes they don’t. That’s how films are.
