“It’s five years and I haven’t been in love, nor have I taken a girl out for dinner in these years!” laughs bachelor boy Rahul Bose, who will turn 39 on July 27. So, does he plan to stay single? “Never say never. For marriage, you need to be in love, for love you need to date, to date you need to meet women… I haven’t got to the first stage yet! I’d love to, but I never make the time for it, given my hectic travel and work schedule,” he says.

And what about fatherhood? “As of now, I live with my sister and niece Aaliya and it’s wonderful to see her growing up. But if I ever get parenting pangs, I would be happy to adopt a girl as there are so many orphans around the world. I think marriage is not a precondition for fatherhood. I am open to marriage and fatherhood, but the probability of that happening is like USA beating Brazil in football,” says the rugby player.

What kind of a woman would he fall in love with? “I like a woman who can laugh at herself and who is emotionally intelligent. But appeal is so arbitrary that you can never really pin it down. I don’t think there are boundaries to that,” he says.

And how many women has he fallen in love with so far? “Oh millions! One necessarily does not know them or meet them. I think Uma Thurman is the most gorgeous woman on the planet!” And if he were to meet her… “I would love to meet her someday but there’s a fair chance she might miss me because she’s 6 feet 2 and I will be left staring at her belt loop!” he laughs.

Going by a theory that every man and woman is bisexual by nature, what does he think? “I don’t know whether it’s a physical bisexuality. For instance, Hillary Clinton has so much of a man in her, but she’s such an attractive lady. I have nothing against bisexuality, I am boringly heterosexual!” says Rahul, who’s in the midst of writing his new film and raising a million bucks for the same.

On the career front, Rahul says, “I’ve never been happier with the choices I have made – 13 films in 13 years, barring the ones that will release now. I am doing a romantic-comedy, drama, an edgy psychological thriller and a period film. As an actor to do films belonging to different genres has been very satisfying. Earlier, people had an impression that I was happy to play second fiddle to women in films like Chameli and 15, Park Avenue. But now, I want to play strong central characters which power the narrative,” says Rahul.
