If people are looking forward to my films, then I am happy, and I must be doing something right.

The trade magazine and all was banned in my house. The first time I read a film magazine was when I was 18.

A successful film is a good film, and a non-successful film is a bad film. It's as simple as that.

The joy and happiness it gives you or the emotions you go through when you hold your child in your arms for the first time are indescribable! I really thought that there was going be this moment when a ray of light from heaven would come pouring in, background music would start playing with angels singing, but none of that happens!

I have no hang-ups in life. I don't care about groups and camps. I have been brought up with certain values and ethics. I have never been egoistic about my stardom and lineage. I don't have any qualms about breaking the ice with my colleagues. I can walk up to any actor and greet him, irrespective of what kind of equation I share with him.

I'm an actor, paid to act. I don't bring personal problems to the sets. Dad taught me that.

In the Indian film industry, especially those of us who are in mainstream cinema, we invariably play a typical hero's role. More often than not, we cater to the public perception. However, there is a latent desire in most actors to do a role where you can go all out and experiment.
