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.

The blessing that this film business has given me is that when I walk into a school I automatically have everyone's attention. They want to hear what the guy from 'Con Air' and 'Desperado' has to say.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.

If I can add, say, 10 great new violin concertos to the repertoire before I'm done, that will be truly exciting.
