I am grateful to theatre for making me what I am today. But it's not like theatre is my first love. I am equally attached to cinema, which is, actually, a child of theatre, since it borrows heavily from it.

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 theatre, you've got to make the connect with your audience in the first three minutes. If you haven't, you know you've almost lost them.

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.

What Bollywood lacks is scripts. A lot of the films are copies of western films.

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