Describe yourself in 140 characters.

I think I am a workaholic but I’m also an easy-going guy. I like hanging out with my close set of friends. I’m not too outgoing — that’s one of the things I want to change about myself.

Which TV character would you be?

Michael Ross from Suits. I would love to have a memory like him.

Which TV character do you want to date?

Rachel Green from Friends. I love her personality and of course, she’s very attractive.

What turns you on?

A girl who smells good. A cute smile would also probably get my attention.

On a night out, you’d wear...

A casual shirt, jeans and a jacket.

Football or cricket?

I am a big fan of cricket and I support India. I love to play whenever I get a chance.

What’s your favourite city in the world?

Singapore. I love everything about the place. The food, nightlife, quality of life... I spent the best years of my life there while pursuing my studies. It feels a lot like home.

What did you do with your first salary?

I remember getting my first internship salary of $800 at the age of 21. I spent it on buying a ticket back home from Singapore to surprise my parents.

If you were stuck on a desert island, what would you take?

I would skip my phone for sure. It would be good to spend some alone time without the outside world.

Who would you invite to a dinner party?

Sachin Tendulkar and Amitabh Bachchan. It would be unreal to talk to them, know their thoughts on a hundred things I would want to ask them.
