<p><strong>From a lean avatar to a super chiselled body &ndash; tell us more about it.</strong></p><p>I have been into fitness and physical training all my life. I always aspire to look better and have a better shape</p>

Sooraj Pancholi

Was Bollywood your calling since always?

Not really. My family never discussed movies at home. I was assisting Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Guzarish, that's when I developed a desire to pursue acting. It’s just this small and simple story.

How did you never appear on-screen as a child artist even though you belonged to a Bollywood family?

My family never wanted me to be in front of camera as a child. There wasn’t much about Bollywood craze in my family during my childhood.

Who all do you want to work with?

I want to work with Raju Hirani, Kabir Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali and I am really looking forward to getting offers from these people.

Any dream role you would like to be recreated for you?

My all time favourite - Iron Man.

Behind the camera, what kind of person Sooraj is.

I am the perfect example of the boy next door. I'm also slightly introvert.

What all gizmos do you own and which cars proudly occupy your garage space?

I own an iPhone 6s. At present, I don’t have any cars – but wishing to get one pretty soon.

Rapid Fire Round: 

Costliest gadget you own: iPhone 6s

If not an actor, then: Sportsperson

Most exotic vacation: Cuba

Social networking is: Most important part of life today

Favorite Bollywood star: Hrithik Roshan
