If any of my characters require me to blacken my beard I do it, otherwise I don't.

I am so glad people have started making films n martial arts and self-defense, which is actually the need of the hour.

Playing a prisoner of war trapped in Pakistan for three years was a novelty for me. We made sure that we didn't talk about India versus Pakistan but about the emotions of people on both sides and how terrorism affects us all.

It feels wonderful to be go back to the 1940s and recreate the whole era through my clothes, voice and body language. I am tired of playing the larger-than-life hero.

I'm glad that I'm being acclaimed as an actor. Today, when my hard work has paid off I can chill out about it.

The day I take either my body or my work for granted will be the day you hear that I've smashed every inch of myself to pieces.

I'm not hungry for success. I am only hungry for good work, and that is how it is with most superstars. Every day I tell myself how fortunate I am to be where I am.
