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

I love the stage, I love the process of acting in theatre, but unfortunately, it doesn't pay the bills.

You see, I have many friends in the Hindi film industry.

Being an international actor, I always had to keep moving.

Different nations have different ways of forming their national identity. In America, for instance, the model was one of homogeneity breaking from different backgrounds, and the whole effort was to blend them all together like a wonderful making of a milkshake!

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

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