I Came To Mumbai With Just Rs. 1,500 ... My Mother Gave Me Before She Died

It is so strange - if anyone takes my name, I have the ability to make them famous.

As an actor you're only supposed to be a lover. I am a romantic hero though I don't like that tag. With all the hardships, problems, illness, goodness, badness, awards and money... an actor will always be a lover. And a lover makes mistakes. You'll be silly, nonsensical and stupid.

Sometimes, I feel the reason I have become a star beyond my films is that I am politically incorrect.

As a person, I am still very middle class. People don’t realise these things. Most of the black suits that I wear are the same. All the designer clothes I have are actually from my films. I don’t dream of Rolls Royce and things like that… People are kind enough to me to give me the nicest things in life, but it doesn’t mean that I’m used to them.

I have no self-centeredness or ego about being a movie star.

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