Grey matter

The actor says it’s his inquisitiveness that drew him to the genre and to play this role. “I have an inclination towards human psychology and therefore the human brain. I'm intrigued by what goes on within the mind and the way the human brain survives. I feel I can do justice to roles in such stories. A series like Breathe shows how a damaged character like Kabir is often a protector, and it also depicts how someone with a high IQ and low EQ is often a psychopath. The uncertainty and unpredictability of the stories attract me to the present genre,” explains Amit.

I realized that this is often not something I will be able to do,” he explains.

Coca is my favorite. it had been my dad who introduced me to horses and dogs.” It’s quite evident from the pictures on his timeline that the actor also spends tons of his time together with his bikes.
His first bike was bought at the age of 18 but Amit had started riding a Bullet when he was an adolescent in class. Though he refuses to share what percentage bikes he has today, he says, “I have quite a few, but I don’t boast. Right now, my favorites are the Ducati Hypermotard and Ducati Multistrada. In December last year, I rode in America on my Ducati Multistrada 1260S. I also do tons of track racing at the Buddh International Circuit in Delhi. The Ducati Panigale V4 is one of the simplest sports bikes for track. I even have planned many road trips this year. the primary ride I would like to travel on is from Delhi to Ladakh as a tribute to the Indian army but I'm expecting permissions.”
