Every individual suffers from the fear of failure, but you can change your destiny only when you overcome it.
It's your own fear of failure that stops you from doing things.
Success is boring... failure is exciting and more entertaining.
One time I nearly experienced failure was when I was acting in 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun' in 1994. One day, I woke up and found that part of my face was paralysed.
I am aware that as an actor, I can blame others for the failure of a film, the director, the script, choice of co-stars, timing of the release and so on. But now, as the director, I will have to shoulder all the blame.
I was able to overcome my failures because I was always confident of my abilities and was sure I could achieve what I had set out for.

Drama school, you know, I own an acting school, Actor Prepares.
Being a popular director or actor's son can be frightening in this industry. What if you are not able to make it?
As for my stand, I think it has become difficult in our country to be a Hindu and a liberal at the same time.
After working with Woody Allen, sharing screen space with De Niro was a dream come true.
I approach every role with the same commitment because I'm being paid for it. To not do so would be unethical.
Every time I've crossed to a new level of film acting, the film has been a breakthrough project.
It's important for couples to be friends first and to respect each other as individuals.
