1. Your 2 AM friend?

My love, Atul!

2. Kiss with your eyes open or shut?

Obviously shut (chuckles)

3. A hottie you would like to get naughty with?

Without a doubt, Ryan Gosling. He is one of my favourites.

4. Ever been hit on by the same sex?

Yes, a bunch of times. So I was in a lounge when a girl came out of nowhere and gave me a peck on my cheek. I didn’t know how to react. I was just stunned. (laughs)

5. The first thing you want in the morning?

My cup of coffee

6. And the last thing you do at night?

I pray before I doze off to sleep.

7. Given a chance, which magical power would you want?

(Thinks) I would say a shape shifter, so that I get to become anyone anytime I want.

8. Whom do you want to go on a quickie date with?

I wouldn’t call it a quickie date, but a quick, cute date with Ranbir Kapoor (wink wink).

9. One night stands are…?

Might work for people but not for me
