Ironically, I grew up watching Indian movies as a kid in Russia. I am quite familiar with Bollywood. I grew up watching 'Disco Dancer;' I watched it some 20 times as a kid.

I'm fascinated by Bollywood.

Movies are a big part of our Indian culture.

When I was a kid, my grandfather used to watch Bollywood films. There's a lot of colour and vibrancy to the Indian films.

I must say, I was a very filmy kid. I used to watch a lot of TV and get very influenced by Bollywood.

In India, the films are not looked upon just as entertainment. They're a way of life.

A lot of people in India are not that into non-Indian films or Western films.

I'm an international actor, but at the same time, I'm also a Bollywood actor, even though most of my career has been abroad. However, I've always kept in touch with Hindi cinema.

I'm trying to strike a balance between Bollywood and Hollywood.
