Mixed Martial Arts is wonderful to watch, it is very practical but dangerous at the same time. You have to be very careful when doing something like that.
Ever since I started my career, I have been busy with four to five releases a year. I enjoy being busy.
I once told someone I could act. They totally bought it. I've been getting away with it ever since.
My dad was a Punjabi from Amritsar, and my mom is a Punjabi from Kashmir. My dad was a soldier in the Indian Army.
People want their actors to do comedy, too. They don't want any comedians next to the actor. They want one solo hero and want to see everything in him.
I have earned enough money in my life. When I started my career, for about 10 years, I told myself I want to make money. Now, I just want to do different roles.
Controversies are a package deal in this industry. You just have to understand that and accept it.
When baseless rumours circulate, it bothers and angers me. My wife and I laugh over these controversies but at some level they irritate too.
I hate partying. If I'm forced to go to a party or a social gathering, I go in at 9:30 and leave at 10 P.M.
I'm a realist. Where I come from, 'phenomenons' don't exist. I'm from a land where people make mistakes and try again, harder, faster; where negativity is not an option.
I do not hold God ransom to my success; whatever is his will is my way. I stand by moments; I do not stand by time.
I'm not hungry for success. I am only hungry for good work, and that is how it is with most superstars. Every day I tell myself how fortunate I am to be where I am.
The day I take either my body or my work for granted will be the day you hear that I've smashed every inch of myself to pieces.
I have never believed in being part of any one group or camp.
