Arjun Rampal

I am not metrosexual. I am not macho. I am normal. I don't even wear nail paint.

I have not taken my good looks seriously from the beginning. When I would be teased by my friends about my looks, I would just make a self-deprecating remark and let it pass.

Born in Jabalpur, I was brought up in Deolali, where my father ran a small business of making fire extinguishers.

I studied international relations and economics at the University of Virginia. I paid my way by working as a bartender in the summer and at three part-time jobs during the year.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
