Fardeen
Khan
is
an
eternal
optimist.
Despite
his
recent
flops
with
Ram
Gopal
Varma
and
his
career
craving
for
a
solo
hit,
the
star
son
is
doing
yet
another
film,
titled
Darling,
with
the
same
director.
The
actor
maps
his
past
and
his
present
career
graph
to
reassert
that
he
is
happy
with
the
work
he
has
done
to
date.
You
are
in
most
Ram
Gopal
Varma
films,
is
it
because
you
are
one
of
his
favourite
actors?
Not
really.
Actually,
I
share
a
good
rapport
with
him.
My
acting
career's
second
film
Jungle
was
with
Ramu.
Then
I
have
worked
with
him
in
Pyar
Tune
Kya
Kiya
and
Bhoot.
Darling
will
be
my
fifth
movie
with
him
and
the
21st
in
my
career.
I
have
gathered
a
lot
of
experience
till
now.
Whatever
I
have
learnt
is
while
working.
The
reason
why
I
share
a
good
rapport
with
Ramu
is
because
we
do
a
lot
of
brainstorming
together
on
the
character,
the
story
and
even
the
scenes.
Weren't
you
skeptical
doing
Darling
with
Ram
Gopal
Varma
since
your
previous
two
movies
with
him
have
failed
to
do
well
at
the
box-office?
Success
and
failure
are
part
of
life.
I
don't
keep
the
box-office
results
of
my
previous
movies
with
a
director
as
criteria
before
agreeing
to
do
the
next
film
with
him.
What
I
look
for
is
the
story
and
my
character
in
the
film.
And
working
with
Ramu
has
always
been
fun.
I
get
to
learn
a
lot.
It
can't
forget
the
fact
that
it
was
Ramu
who
offered
me
diverse
roles
in
his
movies.
And
the
audience
has
appreciated
them.
Tell
us
about
Darling
and
your
character
in
it?
This
is
a
different
type
of
film,
which
cannot
be
restricted
to
a
particular
genre.
It
will
scare
you,
make
you
cry,
make
you
laugh
and
entertain
you.
I
have
done
an
intense
role
in
the
movie.
The
character
I
play
is
named
Aditya;
he
is
stuck
between
two
women.
How
he
controls
himself
is
what
the
story
is
all
about.
"A
killing
lover
and
Darling".
Why
such
a
punch
line?
That
you
will
get
to
know
when
you
watch
the
movie.
All
I
can
say
is
that
the
story
even
touches
upon
the
supernatural.
It's
about
a
man,
his
wife
and
his
lover.
Aren't
the
stories
of
Darling
and
Pyar
Tune
Kya
Kiya
similar?
When
you
watch
the
film
you
will
not
be
able
to
point
out
a
single
similarity
between
the
two
films.
In
Pyar
Tune
Kya
Kiya
I
played
the
role
of
a
model
photographer
and
in
Darling.
I
play
an
executive
manager
in
a
company
who
eventually
falls
in
love
with
his
secretary.
Anchor-turned-director
Sajid
Khan
says
that
none
of
the
filmmakers
has
been
able
to
exploit
your
full
potential?
I
don't
want
to
comment
on
this.
This
is
Sajid's
personal
view.
To
date,
I
have
done
21
movies
and
in
all
of
them
along
with
proving
my
potential,
I
have
also
groomed
my
talent.
I
have
never
tried
to
limit
my
potential
in
any
of
my
movies.
I
have
worked
with
full
dedication.
Do
you
feel
you
have
got
what
you
deserve?
For
me,
being
Number
One
or
Number
Two
doesn't
matter.
Nor
do
I
want
to
get
into
this
rat
race
of
ranking.
I
work
with
those
whom
I
personally
like.
I
have
always
been
very
clear
about
my
work
objective.
I
don't
want
to
get
into
these
petty
issues.
Are
you
happy
with
the
films
you
have
done
or
do
you
regret
some
of
them?
I
am
fully
satisfied
with
all
the
movies
I
have
done
till
date.
I
have
enjoyed
whichever
character
I
have
played
so
far.
With
each
passing
film,
I
find
a
new
energy
within
myself.
You
have
done
action,
as
well
as
comedy
films.
Which
is
more
fun?
I
haven't
done
much
of
action,
except
in
Jungle.
I
have
mostly
done
romantic
and
comic
roles.
And
I
enjoy
doing
both.
Your
dad
was
supposed
to
make
a
remake
of
Quarbani.
Yes,
Puneet
and
my
dad
are
writing
the
story
but
it
is
not
complete
yet.
I
would
like
to
tell
you
one
thing;
although
it
will
be
a
remake
of
the
original
Quarbani,
the
plot
is
keeping
the
present
scenario
in
mind.
Tell
us
about
your
forthcoming
movies
and
your
characters
in
them?
Heyy
Babyy
will
be
in
the
theatres
on
August
24.
Then
in
September,
Darling
will
be
released,
followed
by
Duhlha
Mil
Gaya
and
Jai
Veeru.
In
Dulha
Mil
Gaya,
also
starring
newcomer
Ishita
and
Shahrukh
Khan,
I
play
the
role
of
a
millionaire.
In
Jai
Veeru,
I
play
Jai,
a
police
officer,
while
Kunal
Khemu
plays
Veeru.
What
are
your
hobbies?
I
like
traveling
a
lot.
I
have
traveled
the
whole
of
Europe
and
I
like
car-racing
a
lot.
You
can
even
call
it
my
passion.
What
changes
have
you
experienced
in
your
life
after
your
marriage
to
Natasha?
After
marriage,
every
person
goes
through
a
bit
of
change.
Responsibilities
increase.
I
have
been
lucky
that
I
am
still
the
same
guy.
I
just
reach
home
early
now.
And
also,
I
am
answerable
to
someone.
Which
film
of
yours
Natasha
adores
the
most?
She
likes
No
Entry
a
lot.
