I do not stick to rules when cooking. I rely on my imagination.

I enjoy the realism of action more.

They must be very careful and think about enrolling in training first, they must make a thoughtful decision before actually doing it.

It feels wonderful to be go back to the 1940s and recreate the whole era through my clothes, voice and body language.

I’d never do a film that would hurt anyone’s sentiments, be it Indian or not.

Linen is good because it looks trendy and at the same time it’s very comfotable

Work is work, but family is for life. That’s what really matters to me.

I enjoy the risk of bungee-jumping. I used to pay money to do it. Now, it’s the opposite. I get paid to do action.

On every birthday, I ask my wife, ‘What would you like this year?’ and her instant reply is, ‘Diamonds! Diamonds! Diamonds!’

I savour the adulation and love I have been getting from my fans and the blessings of elders in my family.
