It is because my roots are so strong that I can fly.

I grew up in a small town in India, but through books I knew the world.

'Salaam Bombay' didn't put a halo on the poor. Instead, it said that they will teach us how to live.

What is really important to me is a sense of humour and a mischief about life. Life is just too boring otherwise.

Every frame and every scene has to have an intention.
