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

The fact is I like Mumbai less and less. My son says, 'Baba, let's go for a drive', and I tell him, 'Where's the fun of a drive in this place?' You get caught in a million traffic jams, and you spend time cooped in your car with all that mad cacophony around you.

Our stars are quite notorious. I mean, they don't show up on time. This is, you know, something which is very, very annoying.

In western countries, there are roles written for older actors. Films are made on them, including love stories.

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!
