SONU SOOD

Yes of course, 'Dabaang' has certainly brought me more recognition and fame.

If your film and character are a hit, chances are you'll get typecast in that space.

Working with Jackie Chan was one of the most phenomenal experiences. I won't say that he is the most grounded actor, but he is the most grounded human being I have ever seen.

My biggest regret is that there are only 24 hours in a day. I wish there was at least a few more hours. Each hour of me being awake means I can help a few more migrants who are stranded and are desperate to reach home.

When you are an outsider, no one is ready to meet you or listen to you. People have even said that there are thousands of Sonu Soods out there, and they don't have time to cater to each one of them.

It is very satisfying for an actor to be able to play a historical personage.

I've always believed that it's the film that chooses the actor and not the other way round.

I feel that our country's real heroes are our brave soldiers who leave their families to protect our land.

Had I not got into acting and modeling, I would have been a part of the national cricket team. I'm a right-handed batsman and a pace bowler and have won lots of awards during my college and school days.

It's not like if I am an actor, my kids also will have to become one.

All I can say is that I will always try my best to work on the expectations that people have from me.

I will continue sending migrants home until the last migrant reunites with his family and loved ones.

No matter whom I've worked with, they've always created a great bond with me.

I love being an actor. So, when I am the baddie on screen, I am just doing my job and I am doing it with love and honesty.

As a kid, I always thought of being a cop or an army man.

There is always a producer within an actor. You just wait for the right time to start functioning as one.

My dad always wanted to be a soldier, but he couldn't be one. When I told him that I would be playing a soldier in J.P. Dutta's film 'Paltan,' he was very excited.

I am very happy being an actor. I am doing very well for myself in the acting profession. I am not going to join politics.

Come to think of it, some of the most special films in my career were 'City Of Life' and 'Happy New Year.' For both these films, I stayed over a month in Dubai and just when I was thinking that I need one more film like that, that's when 'Kung Fu Yoga' happened.

I think fitness and doing gym should be like brushing teeth everyday in the morning as it should come automatically without any excuse.

With no back-up in the industry, it is tough to prove yourself.

The way cinema has grown I think, doesn't matter if its Hindi or South. People watch all languages.

I went all out to help these migrants because I was a migrant, too, who came to Mumbai with a lot of dreams. When I saw photographs of their sufferings and read heart-wrenching stories of how they are walking thousands of kilometers without food and water, it reminded me of my early days.

I remember, in 2009, I had said in an interview, 'who knows I might work with Jackie Chan one day.' Seven years later I actually did.

People get to know you better on the small screen, be it while judging or hosting a show.
