We have filmmakers who make films with some kind of responsibility and take cinema seriously like Shyam Benegal, Govind Nihalani, Prakash Jha. But now these people also take stars Without stars they cannot work.

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.

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

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 prefer working in good cinema, wherever it is. I like subjects that have a universal appeal.

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

I was very shy and very reserved as a child, very, very introvert.
