“Being a father has been, my greatest source of pride, humility, inspiration & even achievement. It has taught me to choose innocent honesty over smarts.”

There is no religion of terrorism.

More than an actor, I am a performer. I’m a great believer – honestly so, shamelessly so, vulgarly so – that cinema is for entertainment. If you want to send messages, there’s the postal service.

If you get bored with the person you married for love, there’s something wrong with you – not with that person.

I cannot repay my fans for what they have done for me, they have given me so much love and that love has taken me to the number 1 position where I am today, the only thing I can do for my fans is to never stop working.

Sex is not required to sell my film. My name is enough.

Being with you is like being on Stage. There’s so much light, I can’t see anything else.

I am happy making the films I make and I would like the West to be impressed with what we do from India.

I trust two people, myself and the other is not you, its God.

I talk to Allah, I pray to him.

Stand by what you believe in. People who mind won’t matter and people who matter won’t mind it.

I could lie and say my wife cooks for me, but she doesn’t. My wife has never learnt cooking but she has great cooks at home.

I know it’s very idealistic and utopian, but I believe we need to just let everyone not be judged in terms of religion, groups or nations or region.

Feels like forever, seems like yesterday.

The dreams I chased took me on a journey, a journey more rewarding than the goals.

For someone who doesn’t even like love stories, I’ve played an awful lot of lovers.

To everybody here’s looking at all the colours of light. May your happiness be in all shades, vibrancy & madness of these colours.
