Ali Merchant in the Firing Line...

Describe your self in one word: Child-like

The Quality you look for in your Ideal Mate:

Values

One Accessory you always have with you:

A blue turquoise that I wear around my neck.

A song always on your lips:

Currently, Pehli Nazar from the movie Race.

One Indian TV show you love: Left Right Left and Remix.

Three Things you cannot live without: Credit Cards, Family and Friends.

Best Pick-up line that has been used on you, or by you:

Well, I used to pick up lines in college, but not any more. I didn’t really have any in particular. Now a days, girls come to me saying that they have seen me somewhere, and after a few moments they come up again, stating that they saw me in Amber Dhara…

Any particular incident that has left you in shock:

Actually there was one incident when I was clubbing, a girl came up to me, and introduced her self and gave me her room number and asked me to meet her there. I was in a complete state of shock as nothing like that had happened to me before. (Blushes)

Your Biggest Strength:

When I meet people, I generally focus on their positive qualities and ignore their negative ones.

Favorite Movie Dialogue: I actually love revamping movie dialogues. For example, the dialogue in Sholay, ‘Kitne Aadmi The’, the reply should have been ‘Sarkar, sab Aurtein Thi’, or ‘Suvar Ke Bacche’ the reply should be – ‘Jee Papa’ (laughs)

If not an actor, you would have been:

I would have been a director.

Your favorite hang-out place: Jay, Jatin and I used to hang out at our friend Shakti’s place and have our in-house parties. I’m a complete in-house party freak.
