I've been reading a lot of books on history, and watching a lot of educational TV. Wikipedia too, even though it is not reliable.

In a big Bollywood romantic film, taking my shirt off and spreading the hand towards the mountain with dancers behind me are not my cup of tea.

I love the food, the girls, the sky and everything that is Delhi. I have very fond memories of the Moolchand flyover.

I did theatre in the U.S. because there, content-wise, it's very light. In India, theatre tends to get preachy.

For me,it is very important to believe in the kind of movies I do. Rang De Basanti made me feel good about Indian cinema. The movie instilled in me,a confidence so strong,that I wanted to be a part of the revolution in Bollywood.

All of the films I'm doing are young, urban, high-concept, funny films. That's the zone where I'd like to play and have fun in.

Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error.

Comedy comes from confusion.

I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller, who have carved a niche for themselves. I think doing different kind of films gives you longevity and the ability to set yourself apart.

Women do come up to me after a show, but it's usually to say, 'Yhank you for making us laugh,' and all that.

Relationship humour gets the most laughs. If I'm able to get the women laughing, men will have to laugh along because they would be scared to death.

In Bollywood, I think Boman Irani and Vinay Pathak are unbelievably good at comedy.

To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.
