I'm not into politics. I have received offers to enter politics, but I have not been tempted so far. I can't say about the future.
Film line is all about chance. I don't think much, I just like to take chances.
I'll campaign for anyone who's honest and who I like, irrespective of the party.
I'm not a person who wants to die with my shoes on. I do not think I can be immortal. Maybe my deeds will be immortal. Not me.
'Dance India Dance' is family to me. I actually miss the madness whenever the season is not on air.
I would say the film world has stopped operating as one. We have divided it into Hindi movies, Bengali movies, Tamil movies and so on. Earlier, there was only one channel and we all knew what was going on. Today, it is hard to keep track of programmes due to the advent of regional channels.
I get emotional when young people get nostalgic about my work. That's why it's called nostalgia. Sometimes I even cry.
I like Hrithik Roshan and Shahid Kapoor. They are amazing and very hard working when it comes to dance.
Many Hindi films that are Tamil remakes rake in huge moolah in Bollywood.
Dance India Dance is family to me. I actually miss the madness whenever the season is not on air.
People are often shy to acknowledge that they are Bengalis. They somehow take pride in saying that they cannot speak or read the language.
I came into the industry as an actor. And moved on to become a star with the help of my dancing skills.
I am evergreen, and with every passing day, I am becoming younger.
I would like to produce films, but I feel I am an unsuccessful producer. Thats the fact.
