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

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

I am not confident unless I am playing someone else.

I love being recognized, I love people liking me, I love the fact that people scream when I go out. I think I'll miss all that when it's taken away.

I don't like the trappings of stardom. I wear the shoes and the Dolce & Gabbana, because I'm told to. But I'm not trapped by it.

The enigma of cinema is gone because of the focus on business. As soon as you attach numbers to a film, you limit it. Films are meant to be an escape from reality.

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.
