People talk about Bollywood being very kitsch, and just songs and dances, and over the top and colorful.

I have memories of being in Yale five years ago. It was December and so damn cold that while professing love to my leading lady and singing a Bollywood ditty which went something like this, Kabhie alvida na kehna – my mouth froze itself to death. I say death because as I inched closer to kiss her, mouthing the words kabhi alvida na… my mouth and jaw just locked.

I trust two people, myself and the other is not you, its God

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

My parents' loss was compensated by the birth of my son Aryan and daughter Suhana. I believe they're my parents. In comparison to them, I behave childishly. My 13-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son behave like my mother and father. They're not my weakness. I love them a lot and give them a lot. I'll give them so much that by the time they are adults they wouldn't want anything.

I work hard, like I'm sure everyone else does, and I'm very honest with the work I do.

Stand by what you believe in. People who mind won't matter and people who matter won't mind it
