'I would lie if I said I don't get scared'

This is the second time you are playing a stuntman. You played one in Waqt too. 

I play a stuntman but the film is a romantic comedy. So there aren't many action sequences. I have done a couple of stunts.

I enjoy performing stunts; I don't find them difficult. If I get up in the morning and I know that I have to do a stunt, then I'm totally charged up.

Like I shot with 40 sharks in Blue. I was so excited -- I was taken first class to the Bahamas, put up in a five star hotel. I knew I had to go 150 feet below sea level to see the shark and there would be many people taking care of me when I was down. And the producer was paying me for this enjoyment. What more do you want in life!

Weren't you scared?

Yes I was. I would lie if I said I don't get scared. After all, they are sharks! I still remember an incident where my life was saved. I hit my head on a rod when I was underwater. Sharks smell blood fast, so all of them started moving in. One boy took dead fish and started throwing them in another direction to divert them while the other divers pulled me out. Within 20 seconds, I was out of the water.
