Playing Jiggy: Jiggy is a Gujarati boy. He is a wannabe and overdoes everything -- whether it is fashion or a birthday party. His dressing and hairstyle is very loud. But after he finishes college, he joins his father in the stock market, and becomes a simple boy, with moustache and oiled hair.

Shooting for Jaane Tu: When I was playing the 'adult' Jiggy, two strands of my moustache were standing out. This annoyed Abbas, so he took a pair of scissors and said, 'Main tumhari mooche kata hoon.' Next thing I know, my lip was bleeding! He had cut my lip by mistake.

Toughest scene: Playing Jiggy was difficult. I would feel wierd about whatever my character wore -- from red pants or a skull belt -- to the loud yellow car he drove.

Favourite scene: I liked all the scenes with Prateik Babbar and Naseeruddin Shah. I especially liked the scene when Jai hits Sushant, and Naseer starts smiling from the portrait. When Jai goes home, and his mother sees him bruised, she knows that the first requirement of being a Rathore was accomplished.

What are you doing: I have just graduated in BMS [Bachelor of Management Studies] from Mumbai's NM College.

What next: I have not decided yet. This could be my only film, or a start to a career in cinema.
