I'm not a cribber, or someone who criticises. People who criticise are not doers. I'm a doer.
When I staged the play and narrated my story to the audience, people found it amazing that after facing so many hardships, I have gone on to do 482 films.
Our cinema has evolved in last 60 years because we have made people happy through our films. The main purpose of our storyline is to spread happiness. Our cinema has an emotional connect.
People tend to scare you pointing out your shortfalls. If you voluntarily admit your faults, then people won't have anything to point out.
I enjoy being recognized. I'll be very sad if people stop recognizing me. I'll be very sad if I'm not interviewed, because that's a very amazing process.
I don't think that I will say that we are less talented in Bollywood, but our functioning is different. We cater to a different kind of audience.
Every individual suffers from the fear of failure, but you can change your destiny only when you overcome it.
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?

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 your own fear of failure that stops you from doing things.
