When I was in college, I had only one ambition that one day I would like to be a director.

Mumbai's infectious. Once you start living in Mumbai, working in Mumbai, I don't think you can live anywhere else.

Though, technically, I'm shooting on location, my films are actually based inside a woman's heart. I think women are more emotional than men, and that's a thread I've explored in all my films. When I see TV these days, I'm shocked at how all the main women characters are portrayed as evil. Women are the foundation of everything, and they deserve to be treated that way on camera.

Human beings are very complex creatures. This desire, this greed, this love is very complex.

What is the point of making the film if the man doesn't marry the girl?

When I was in college, my brother, B.R. Chopra, who is everything to me, was a director in Bombay. He taught me filmmaking. What I am today is because of him.

You can always make a good film but for it to be successful, you need God's blessing.
