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

It is my first preference to do films with social significance. Art cinema has given me credibility and status as an actor, but commercial cinema has given me a comfortable living.

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.

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.

I don't expect anything from anybody. When you grow old Your days are gone; it is part of life.

Actors are just soldiers who follow commands.

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