It’s the new film Twilight that everyone is talking about. But I’m still waiting to see it.

Your favourite romantic scene in a movie?
The scene from Sholay between Dharamendra and Hema Malini, although there is more comedy in this scene. He is teaching her how to shoot but I feel there is such pure romance in it with gripping moments that we still watch and enjoy it.

Which actress would you love to go on a date with and why?
Penelope Cruz — apart from her stunning looks the way she talks in English with a Spanish accent is something I’d want to hear in person.

Which dialogue have you mouthed in front of the mirror the most?
It’s the dialogue from The Godfather that Al Pacino delivers to his brother Freddo at a Vegas hotel: “You are my brother and I love you but don’t ever take sides with anyone against the family again.” His intensity as an actor shows in this one line.

Who inspired you to become an actor?
My father inspired and supported me in everything that I wanted to do in my life.

The worst film you ever watched?
Can’t name just one.

Which film you wish you could be a part of?
