“I have family in India. My sister stays in Chennai and I’ve been to India about four times so far. The last time I came was in October last year I came very quietly just to see my sister. I love it there,” he said.

“My Indian family is always introducing me to new films. My sister made me see Devdas that had Aishwarya Rai. The last film I saw was Shah Rukh Khan’s My Name Is Khan on an airplane. I loved it,” he continued.

“I’d want nothing more but to star in a Bollywood movie,” he added.
