“My biggest achievement is that I can make a lot of people smile just by my presence, even if it’s a Lux ad.”

Yes I have made a lot of money and I have a lot of respect, my films have done well, and I know there are loads of loads of people who look up to me and really love me. I really just thought this is like a strange dream. I have never thought this is a success – I don’t have a standard.

It’s okay to be confused. Confusion is the route to all the clarity in the world.

One thing I teach my children and want everyone to know that even if you happen to be on a pedestal you should have the capacity to turn around and say, ‘I don’t know’. We are scared to go wrong. Downfall is part of life.

It is so strange – if anyone takes my name, I have the ability to make them famous.

Awards that ignore me are losers.

Beautiful homes are made by beautiful home makers.

I do believe that an actor, who is self aware, will never do a film that is not an extension of his personality.

Don’t know when my passion became my purpose and then turned into my profession.

Im running in a race and people are on the other track, I’m running with myself

Youngsters are the most discerning audience. They want entertainment, they want issues.

I’m try-sexual. I try anything that’s sexual.

When people call me God, I say, no, I’m still an angel or saint of acting. I still have a long way to go.

I thank God for happiness and sadness. If you are never sad you will never know how good happiness is.

The collar-bone is my favourite part of the human body.

As an actor you’re only supposed to be a lover. I am a romantic hero though I don’t like that tag. With all the hardships, problems, illness, goodness, badness, awards and money. An actor will always be a lover. And a lover makes mistakes. You’ll be silly, nonsensical and stupid.

I truly believe my job is to make sure people smile.

Nothing stops the man who desires to achieve. Every obstacle is simply a course to develop his achievement muscle. It’s a strengthening of his powers of accomplishment.

People had lost trust in governance. Getting back that trust, instilling a sense of hope and belief that good governance and development would be back on track, is my biggest achievement.

For perfect hope is achieved on the brink of despair, when instead of falling over the edge, we find ourselves walking on air.

Make your problems adventures and achieve greatness in every situation in life.

I think a lot of parents live their lives through the kids. Because they didn’t make it [achieve something], they want their kids to make it. It puts a lot of undue pressure on the kids.

Over the years, I have observed that nearly all high achievers know how to make good of those 1440 minutes in each day.

I have always been more interested in experiment, than in accomplishment.

Stop criticizing yourself for your failures. Start appreciating yourself for your achievements.
