Favourite book: Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic
A childhood cricket memory that is still fresh in my mind: Me breaking all my neighbours’ glasses and running away. Every time I played cricket I broke a few glasses and the neighbours complained at home. My dad wouldn’t let me play outside for a day but then because he loved cricket so much that he couldn’t see me deprived of it. I would play again, break more glasses, hit the ball on someone’s roof and climb the roof to retrieve it. Everybody thought it was really dangerous. I used to create a lot of panic in the neighbourhood. I don’t know how much money my dad spent fixing all the glasses I broke. If he didn’t have to do it, he would have been very rich.
Celebrity crush: Shraddha Kapoor and Scarlett Johansson
If I could have one super power, I would like to: Have the ability of making things happen just by thinking about it. If I think of something and I would get it. That’s like having all the superpowers in one. I would do everything – fly to one place, come swimming from there. I am an adventurous person, so I like activities with adrenaline rush. I would never put my feet on the ground and explore the world the way I wish to.
Dream car: The Batmobile and the Maserati
