What was the challenge of doing Raabta? What side as an actor did you explore?

I always enjoy playing challenging roles,characters I’ve never dealt with before. What made me do Raabta? Well, after Detective Byomkesh Bakshy, I was exhausted. So, I went off to Goa. There I was in the pool, sipping beer and reading this script. I liked it. It was so well-written. I was like wow! (Laughs) I even wondered if I liked it because of the beer. It was so well-written. There were two characters. It spoke about reincarnation, which I don’t believe in. But I was like I don’t mind playing it for those two and half hours because it’s a nice story. Also, the second character had no references. He’s savage, animalistic and closer to our core nature. We’re just concerned about survival. I’ll kill people or I’ll be killed – that’s his only emotion. And then he experiences other emotions. I wanted to enjoy experiencing that life, that character.

What’s the feedback that you’ve been receiving for your suave look in Raabta?

Actually, people have liked both my looks. I worked hard on them. (Laughs) Also, for the first time a lot of people found me looking good. Probably, because I’m dressed well in the film. I’m lip-synching songs... things I haven’t done before.

Do you get overwhelmed by praise?

I don’t sit and analyse these things. Because I have realised that the audience is huge in India, more than a billion people. So if we start taking what they say seriously, even if the majority is with you, you do tend to get affected by the negative comments on the internet. If you google your name or log on to social media, everything about you is right there.
