I would want my children to grow up and do what they wish to in a field that they choose to step in. They should not have to use the shadow of their father's name. I think that is a bit of a downer for a movie star's children.
I am like a kid. I tell my family and friends I'm like a kid.
I don’t sit around complaining about the lack of good roles. I will play Raj 85 times and still make him different.
If it could have happened through a film that I was associated with, it would have made be doubly proud. It makes me proud anyway. I am not disappointed.
Recently an actor asked me to teach him how to speak fast. Wasn't I once criticised for speaking too fast? Now they're doing it my way.
I trust two people, myself and the other is not you, its God
There is no religion of terrorism.
Indian civilisation does not distinguish in terms of religion. We are an impossible achievement in the world and I'm very proud to be an Indian.
I am very shy. If I am flying British Airways and the airhostess asks me two questions, and I don’t understand her accent – I will go hungry for the entire flight.
We are not supposed to have an opinion. If we have an opinion, it has to be controversial – that is how we are always projected. It is difficult.
Sometimes, I feel the reason I have become a star beyond my films is that I am politically incorrect.
As a person, I am still very middle class. People don’t realise these things. Most of the black suits that I wear are the same. All the designer clothes I have are actually from my films. I don’t dream of Rolls Royce and things like that… People are kind enough to me to give me the nicest things in life, but it doesn’t mean that I’m used to them.
I do believe that an actor, who is self aware, will never do a film that is not an extension of his personality.
Live, laugh, love, every day to it's fullest, for who knows, tomorrow, may not be.
