srividya

My role model: My dad and brother

A book that touched your heart? Journey to Ladakh by Andrew Harvey

If you could play any other character from your show which one would it be? Virat played by Kushal

One question that puts your down? It's very shallow when people ask, "Aisi body banaane ke liye kya khaana padta hain?"

The most disgusting thing you found in your bedroom? Not in my bedroom, but I stepped on cat's crap in my brother's bedroom.

When you were five did you dream of being this famous? Not at all

If you could lend your voice for a cartoon character which one would it be? Johnny Bravo

The strangest thing a fan has given you? I haven't got a lot of gifts from fans, so I would request them to send me (laughs) something like books or running shoes.

Last movie you cried? I do not cry while watching movies.

Which is the most annoying thing about you? When I get into a playful mood sometimes I say things that hurt people. But it's not intentional at all.

Two things you are really good at? Sleeping and applying logic.

A television show you wish to be a part of? Band of Brothers

When you were growing up, you had posters of? Arnold Schwarzenegger and Scream II

When was the last time you lied to the media? I do that every time (laughs). But seriously as actors sometimes we need to do; but not very serious lies.

What can you cook if I come to your house now? Anything under the sun.

nice answers..i really dont know this actor much but just read the interview and wen i read dat his most fav character is virat i was like woww...so he is also awed by virat's role which is played by kushal like all of us are...kushal is really doing a gr8 job and i thnk he is doing more dan what is required ..dats why he is accepted so quickly by a vast no. of people which is soo very rare and i m sure all the members of the show r also very impressed with the character..but wen i saw the comments i felt dat some fans are taking it in wrong way...instead it is a proud momemt for kushal's fans...dat abhinav chose his character...it is not only about the character but kushal is doing it brilliantly...he just lit up the character in such a way dat his character has became a dream character for other actor..so guys relax...:)after reading the article i once again felt good about the fact dat i m actually liking a character which is applauded by all..and moreover i m sure..he is gonna win the fresh face the next year...this is a challenge :) :))

I like his answers. They seem very genuine and almost Virat like lol. Though I dont like Dr Manan on the show but I like him as an actor and he was awesome in Geet.
