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.

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

There is one common thing in superstars - enthusiasm and humility towards their work. Off sets, they are big stars for others, and they carry themselves the way they want to. When they are working, they are not stars.

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

My films are of paramount importance to me, the same as my family. That's not going to change. This is a balance I have to strike throughout my life.

The only fear I have is that I will wake up one day and nobody will allow me to do films. This is a fear every actor has.
