I have been in the film industry for 35 years, and everyone, including the spot-boys, will vouch for my character.

I have no regrets at all. I have done quite well for myself. I didn't have a conventional face, but I have done well, and I am proud of it.

Meeting Helen Mirren was a fabulous experience. I had played it out in my mind, how I should greet her when we would be introduced. But the way we met was funny because I just didn't recognise her!

Fat noses have no place in the Hindi film industry. But it is not so in the West - otherwise, Anthony Quinn would have never been an actor.

As a young man, I was very introverted and quiet, but with a lot of intensity and feelings.

Actors are just soldiers who follow commands.

I don't spend on expensive brands. I don't need foreign holidays.
