I could break bricks with my hands when I was 12.
I'm an athletic actor. I'm known for my action; I'm a guy who does my own stunts on screen.
It feels wonderful to be go back to the 1940s and recreate the whole era through my clothes, voice and body language. I am tired of playing the larger-than-life hero.
I'll do at least one action film every year because of my fans. This is my promise to them.
When you taste super-success after tasting super-failure, there is huge relief.
I savour the adulation and love I have been getting from my fans and the blessings of elders in my family. Fourteen years have given me a lot and I can't thank God and the industry enough.
Kareena Kapoor is my lucky charm
I have dabbled with action, romance, dance, emotion and comedy. I think I've done well in all. It's important to keep doing something different and reinvent oneself to avoid stagnation from creeping in.
Work is work, but family is for life. That's what really matters to me.
Why bother with Google when I have a wife who knows everything about everything!
I do not stick to rules when cooking. I rely on my imagination.
It drives me nuts how I rely on my wife for everything. I can't imagine a day without her!
It takes two hands to clap! I cannot be solely blamed for what happened in my relationships! If things soured, it happened because of both parties. Not just me!
For a guy who used to steal watches on the streets of Chandni Chowk for kicks, I surely think my success at the age of 22 was pretty early!
