Your favourite hangouts on the Internet:
I am fairly Net savvy. I like to check mail on the Internet. I have lots of accounts for mail - Rediffmail, Yahoo, Hotmail. I also check out Indian Television for the latest news on television and even surf for the latest happening in Bollywood. I also like to catch up with news on rediff.com, Times of India etc.

I try and log in as often as as possible, though I would prefer to spend more time online.

Most of the time I supervise my son who is very Net savvy. He is only in the 8th standard and is online all the time - chatting on messengers, doing email, and discussing me... Once in a while, he teaches me a few tricks.

What you like best about the World Wide Web:
What I like is the anonymity. Also that it is fast, live and in real time. You cannot even hear the voice of the person, but you just get a hint of their personality because of the words that they are typing furiously.

If you could change something about the Internet, it would be:
Nothing at all. The Internet for me, is like a girl in a burkha. I want to reach out and find out what she looks like. I sure hope she is witty and pretty.

Do you go ego-surfing, checking out sites or pages devoted to you?:
Quite often. I think the Net is a great place for narcissism, especially actors. You can type your name in any search engine and get the latest information about yourself.

If you could sell anything, online, it would be:
Humour! One needs a lot going around... If a man could sell his soul on Ebay, I am sure I could sell it too!

Your idea of a perfect Web site would be:
Funny. That's what I think I am identified with - witty, funny and paisa vasool for those who need their daily dose of laughter.

Have you ever chatted with a stranger?:
Yes. And I really enjoyed the experience. I take the brickbats with a pinch of salt. It just might be my neighbour or a rival saying those nasty things... You never know. But yes, sometimes under that veil of anonymity, people do like to get into your bedroom. I have been asked, 'Are you a cassanova? What does your wife think about your girlfriends etc'. That can get a little difficult.

Strangest experience online:
The amount people can write in their emails. I remember replying to 5,000 emails which came to the Sony Entertainment Television site in one afternoon. Sometimes, you cannot believe the kind of things that they want to get to know about you. 'Do you always talk so fast? Why do you kiss only the girls on your show?'

And there were thousands more.

One celebrity you would like to chat with:
Why limit me to one? There is Al Pacino, Demi Moore, Michael Jackson.... The list is really long.
