Our film industry as well as the audiences are now open to unconventional pairings and subjects, which has aided my journey greatly.

Remember, acting is not a business of glamour. It is science, craft and an art. Read about acting; don't do it for the sake of fun. Actors such as Paresh Rawal and Naseeruddin Shah are great examples; they are surviving only because they have read well.

One can understand a person by the way he removes his wallet and puts his hand to take out money.

To find one's calling is perhaps not the easiest thing in the world, but probably the most important.

I used to follow celebrities, and I remember I watched Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt shooting for 'Sadak'. I was standing on the road at three in the night, but little did I know that I would be making a film with Sanjay at some point in my career.

I am very proud to be a part of '3 Idiots,' and happy that the character has worked in a big way.

Very few movies remain in public memory as landmark films and I want to see whether 3 Idiots will be up there with some of the wonderful films that have come out of this country...Hopefully, we'll come to know in a few years whether it can become one of the great films.
