I would say the film world has stopped operating as one. We have divided it into Hindi movies, Bengali movies, Tamil movies and so on. Earlier, there was only one channel and we all knew what was going on. Today, it is hard to keep track of programmes due to the advent of regional channels.

West Bengal belongs to Bengalis. We should live here like a king and not as servants.

I came into the industry as an actor. And moved on to become a star with the help of my dancing skills.

Actors are born, good actors are trained. Dancers are born, good dancers are trained.

My fan following is intact. They only like to see me in movies, which I am still doing for them. I do not need to do any long interviews or chat shows.

I get emotional when young people get nostalgic about my work. That's why it's called nostalgia. Sometimes I even cry.

I am evergreen, and with every passing day, I am becoming younger.
