Cinema in India is like brushing your teeth in the morning. You can't escape it.

When people call me God, I say, no, I'm still an angel or saint of acting. I still have a long way to go.

I would want my children to grow up and do what they wish to in a field that they choose to step in. They should not have to use the shadow of their father's name. I think that is a bit of a downer for a movie star's children.

I talk to Allah, I pray to him.

I truly believe my job is to make sure people smile.

After I began working, I realised there's no end line. I believe that money has nothing to do with your personal success. On the face of it, I'm the biggest capitalist of all. I have all the riches. I'm the living proof of what stardom should be in material terms. But I've never sold my soul. I've not done anything which I didn't want to do. I've not done films for money. I'm not saying this with arrogance but I've never asked for a film.

I am not someone who believes to doing a film just because it is off beat.
