“Every film for every actor is a make-or-break film. I believe every film has the power to break you or make you. So, an actor will treat every film like his last film.”

My daughter is not an object to flash around or a prized item to put on display.

Just because I don’t show six-pack abs doesn’t mean that I don’t have them.

Off sets, they are big stars for others, and they carry themselves the way they want to. When they are working, they are not stars.

I feel that one of the hardest things in acting is the way you need to switch your emotions.

I like working on my birthday, so I always do.

I am not one of those people who will ever be comfortable mocking or making caricatures of the stereotypes attached to any community.

The best gift for an actor is the love of the fans. Many make sweet cards, write letters and even come and meet me wherever I am in India.

The joy and happiness it gives you or the emotions you go through when you hold your child in your arms for the first time are indescribable!

The love and blessings of your elders is also always cherished, but the extra mile that the fans go to is memorable.

Every actor has his own identity. I don’t aspire to be Bond. My quest is to do something new, something different.

I don’t believe in asking God for anything. If I am worthy, He will give it to me. I think we should earn his blessings; I have never believed in mannats.

The only fear I have is that I will wake up one day and nobody will allow me to do films. This is a fear every actor has.

In the Indian film industry, especially those of us who are in mainstream cinema, we invariably play a typical hero’s role.

A successful film is a good film, and a non-successful film is a bad film. It’s as simple as that.

Indian weddings are elaborate. As a culture, we like to celebrate everything Our weddings go on for sometimes a week, 10 days.

Age is just a state of mind, and you are as old as you think you are.

My mom didn’t ever think I would take to acting because I was a very shy, very reserved kind of child. But obviously, something changed!

A successful film is a good film, and a non-successful film is a bad film. It’s as simple as that.

Well, my brother started acting before I did.

I don’t come to work as an actor. There are many directors who can direct without ever having acted and do a great job and connect with their actors and lead them to excellent performances without themselves having had an acting background.

I never really wanted to write and wanted to focus on acting.

A majority of women seem to consider themselves sent into the world for the sole purpose of displaying dry goods, and it is only when acting the part of an animated milliner’s block that they feel they are performing their appropriate mission.

I had an acting teacher tell me once that if you’re playing a car salesman, you don’t want to be an OK car salesman, you want to play the best car salesman.

I feel like after acting, the other half of why I love this business is the opportunity to work with and meet people who inspire you. That it pays my rent is a good bonus.
