I feel that one of the hardest things in acting is the way you need to switch your emotions.

I am not one of those people who will ever be comfortable mocking or making caricatures of the stereotypes attached to any community.

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.

I think India is very passionate about films. It's almost a second religion back home. Due to that, I think film stars are - are really held in great esteem. Not that we're complaining, but I think with that comes a lot of responsibility.

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

My daughter is not an object to flash around or a prized item to put on display.

I don't believe in asking God for anything. If I am worthy, He will give it to me. I think we should earn his blessings; I have never believed in mannats.
