Off the record... Vivek Oberoi

The time he thought he didn't look sexy on screen: I am not a narcissist, so I don't think about myself all the time.

The time he wanted to run away from home: When I was five years old, and my dad had scolded me. I made a potli (a bag) of all my toys and things that I loved and told my mom that I was leaving the house. I tied that potli to my cricket bat. But as soon as I thought of stepping out from my house, I got scared of the traffic. So I sat right outside my house and my dad came and took me back. By that time, I had already started missing them...

A script he hated: There was this gentleman who was narrating a murder mystery, and throughout the narration he kept on telling me that the murderer was a man. But finally, he revealed that the man was actually a woman! Now, that was a million dollar mystery!

The hottest thing he ever put into himmouth: Hmm… are you sure you want to know? (Laughs) I just can't resist hot pakodas, hot and crunchy, straight from the frying pan.

His biggest fear: I am very attached to my family and the thought of losing them, makes me terrified.

If he were in big brother: I would never agree to be a part of that show, because I think it takes a lot of guts to let the audience be a part of your daily life.

Food that he wouldn't touch with a barge pole: The street food you get in Bangkok, those cockroach salads and earth worm soups.

What he would like to steal from his mom's cupboard: Memories.

Which actress looks best in a sari: I think sari looks best on any woman, but I feel Sushmita Sen was stunning in Main Hoon Na. I wish I had a teacher like her!

If he were the prime minister of india: Why me? I am absolutely the wrong person.

One person he would love to punch: The night guards who pelt stones at street dogs!

One suggestion for ekta kapoor: I think the characters in her serials, needs to have more 'ekta' among themselves. They are constantly fighting!

The most boring personality in bollywood: Now, there is this old assistant director, who somehow manages to find me wherever I am, and asks me to act in his film. He has been after me ever since I joined the industry. He is a big bore!

One thing he would like to ask God for: I would not waste my time asking God for anything. I would just thank him for whatever He has given me so far. I am sure that God will be impressed by this and give me more.

If he were offered the role of a homosexual character: I have been offered such roles earlier, but I have refused them. I think these roles are very challenging for an actor, but I don't think I am mature enough to handle a character like that.

The craziest thing he did in school: Oh! I did it all. From putting cockroaches inside my teacher's lunch-box to calling my teacher and informing her that someone had planted a bomb in our school. Once I asked my teacher to cancel a class test because I was not ready for it.

The craziest thing he did in college: Okay, now this one was a bit scary. Once I had replaced hair gel with hair removal cream and gifted it to one of my friends. I asked him to apply it on his hair and then wash it the next morning. I guess he still hasn't forgiven me.

The time he didn't get paid for her work: Oh boy! It's a regular feature in our industry when you feel you're underpaid.

The time he got a call from the underworld: After I did my first film, Company, I got a call from someone, (I can't take his name) and he said, "Aap ki film dekhi... ek dam real kiya aapne..." and I thanked him for appreciating me. I had no other option! (Laughs)
