It is time that India legally respected the rights of LGBT persons. It is very sad that this is not enshrined in Indian law in India so far, but I do believe that soon, we will come on par with respecting the individuality of people with different sexualities.

I could play Arab roles, even German roles, Italian roles because I had that look.

I'm not the sort to wallow in nostalgia about the good old days.

I think the Indian model of respecting the uniqueness of each religion and, of every state is what makes the country great.

The advantage my looks gave me was that I wasn't limited to just playing Indian roles when I was abroad, and I've been abroad for almost twenty-five years.

I have never pressurized a producer to do me any favor.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
