Martial art has always been my first love.
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.
I'd never do a film that would hurt anyone's sentiments, be it Indian or not.
I enjoy the risk of bungee-jumping. I used to pay money to do it. Now, it's the opposite. I get paid to do action.
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.
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.
My love for sports will never die. I love martial arts and I want to promote it in whichever way I can. I am a fighter first, then an actor.
I would just like to tell my fans how much it means to me to make a movie that they like.
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.
To be honest I had learnt martial arts for a girl. So I started learning the art to impress her, but eventually I started loving martial art more than the girl. So later it became a habit it became fun.
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.
It's the best thing if your work is your passion in life. It makes me feel like I'm always on break.
Watch and enjoy Mixed Martial Arts, and if some people are thinking about doing it, they must be very careful and think about enrolling in training first, they must make a thoughtful decision before actually doing it.
Mixed Martial Arts is a dangerous practice that could result in injuries and loss of life.
