I see the friends I made over the years who have become family today, people I became acquainted with who have achieved so much in their lives. They taught me something with each meeting.
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.
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.
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.
I'll do at least one action film every year because of my fans. This is my promise to them.
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 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.
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 could break bricks with my hands when I was 12.
I would just like to tell my fans how much it means to me to make a movie that they like.
I do not stick to rules when cooking. I rely on my imagination.
