Anil On His Role in the Wedding of the Year, Aka DeepVeer

I remember on the sets of Dil Dhadakne Do when Deepika came to meet him (Ranveer Singh) and we were going on the ship. So she was there and I was like: ‘Chodna matt isko. Yeh ladka superb hai yaar. Perfect choice! You can’t get a better boy’.

Maybe Nepotism Isn’t All That Bad?

Maine in teeno (his children) ka faayda uthaya hai. Mere yeh teeno bacche nahi hote toh shayad mera career 10 saal pehle se itna accha nahi hota. Sonam, Rhea, Harsh, I have gained a lot from them. I’m being very honest with you. It’s the truth, I’m not joking.

The Time Jackie Shroff Beat a Good Performance out of Him

He was a very strong guy so his slap was something. And Jackie being Jackie, he didn’t want to hit me. He looks very tough but he’s a softie. I look very soft but I’m tough that way. I said, ‘Maar yaar jitna marrna hai, expression correct aana chahiye’. I think 16-17 thappad maar diye the usne, I don’t remember the number but there were quite a few of them.

FYI, He’s a Fan of Makeup

You won’t believe, I still sometimes go to sleep with make up on. I don’t wash my face and my wife keeps on telling me – go wash your face! I say ‘Rehne do na yaar, ek toh badi mushkil se makeup karne ko milta hai’. So many times I still go to sleep with my makeup on, till today. It’s just the feeling of being an actor. It’s not the makeup. I’m so good looking, I don’t need makeup ya but I just do makeup (sic).

He Has His Cake and Eats It Too

I don’t refrain. I eat everything. Trust me, I eat everything. I don’t have a sweet tooth to be honest with you so that way I’m quite safe. I love food. I’m like a bird. I eat everything but like a bird.

He Still Gets Nervous About Every Performance

I am hard on myself sometimes where my work is concerned. Many times, I’m hard on myself because when I face a camera and I think God has given me so much where this profession is concerned. There are no retakes. Once I shoot today, I will not be able to do it again. And once my grandchildren or my great grandchildren see the film and if they say how are you looking? You’re looking so puffy, you’re looking so tired. I don’t want anyone to say you’re looking tired or puffy and especially in this profession. There are so many careers at stake, including mine. So that’s the reason I’m slightly hard on myself.
