The Indian team does not need any best wishes - they are going to win anyway. I have been close to Sourav Ganguly, and I hope he does well in the World Cup.

I just lead my life as naturally, as normally as I possibly can. But I can't help it if controversy is hounding me day in and day out. I'm quite amazed sometimes by the way they go about it. I grow a beard and it lands up in the editorial in The Times of India.

When Shah Rukh stated, “Bhootnath... will be among the top three hits of the year!”, I told him, “Aapke moonh mein dudh, ghee, shakkar sab!

I sometimes lament the fact that I do not have the benefit of a complete and ailment free body structure.

I'd love to romance Aishwarya Rai. But I'm 58 now. So I have to play her father.

Basically I am just another actor who loves his work and this thing about age only exists in the media.

I don't use any techniques; I'm not trained to be an actor. I just enjoy working in films. It's more instinctive rather than anything else. I don't do the calculated rehearsed kind of approach, and I hope that I can continue that because I believe that instinct is much stronger and greater when you are performing on camera.
