Q & A
' My life is like an open book' -- Nobel
Nobel is a popular model and actor who received several awards as a model. His face features on several ads. Here he speaks on diverse issues with our cultural correspondent.

Excerpts of the conversation

What do you value the most?
My family.

What if you were chosen for a James Bond movie?
First of all, I would get information about the filmmaker. If I were satisfied with his credentials, I would gladly accept the proposal. But if I had qualms about his ability, I would skip the offer.

Who would your co-star be?
Definitely Aishwarya Rai because she is like an angel.

What if you were offered to become a wrestler?
If I have to face big fighters like HHH, then I would run a mile out of fear. May be I would try to convince him that he can become more famous by becoming a model and quitting wrestling altogether! And obviously I would try to learn those techniques that he applies to win the game.

Ever imagined winning Taka 10 million in a lottery?
Several times. But, I really don't know if that would be sufficient, since, I have so many things on my wish list.

What is your philosophy of life?
Whatever I do, I always try to keep my originality. The mask, that we all wear in order to impress people, should be less important as that is not our real self.

What if a genie granted you three wishes? What would that be?
Firstly, I would want to do something memorable for our advertisement industry. It is not that I want to be a prolific performer; I just want to act in quality commercials.

Secondly, I want to spend more time with my kids. And finally I want to improve myself in every step I take. This holds good for all the spheres of life.

Any secrets to share with your viewers?
Oh no! I don't have any actually. I can't keep secrets, everybody knows everything about me. My life is like an open book.

Could immortality be the key to greater achievement?
I don't really think so. As everything has an end point, human life too has an end point. And if someone lives forever, he or she would never have the urge to make a contribution to society. Life would be truly devastating and uninteresting.
