“Life is an ordeal, albeit an exciting one, but I wouldn’t trade it for the good old days of poverty and obscurity.”

Acting is divine dissatisfaction. It’s the greatest thing in the world to do, but you are never satisfied with it ever.

Ya know what I do almost every day? I wash. Personal hygiene is part of the package with me.

I really believe in the philosophy that you create your own universe. I’m just trying to create a good one for myself.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which, was that you can fail at what you don’t want so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.

My father used to brag that I wasn’t a ham, I was the whole pig.

I just want to be myself.

I’ve arrived at the place if I’m not taking a career risk, I’m not happy. If I’m scared, then I know I’m being challenged.

150 people die every year from being hit by falling coconuts. Not to worry, drug makers are developing a vaccine.

My soul is not contained within the limits of my body. My body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul.

When things are really bad the only thing to do is laugh.

I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.

One of the most corrosive threats to society moving forward is social media and right wing disinformation.

I used to be a guy who was experiencing the Universe, but now I feel like the Universe experiencing a guy.

Energy is what I believe all of us are. We’re just conscious awareness dancing for itself for no other reason but to stay amused.

I don’t make it in regular channels, and that’s okay for me.

When you’re excited about what you do, and nobody gotta give you a dime, that’s next level.

A woman, I always say, should be like a good suspense movie: The more left to the imagination, the more excitement there is. This should be her aim – to create suspense, to let a man discover things about her without her having to tell him.

The closest synonym of happiness is excitement, and you can generate it by doing something that you can’t completely comprehend. This understanding makes the process rich and exciting.

I was very excited and interested as a background dancer or as a theatre actor or when I was working on TV, or even on the film which didn’t do well, like ‘Byomkesh.’

Suspense is like a woman. The more left to the imagination, the more the excitement.

Don’t let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning.

No matter what you achieve, what you want to aspire to be, or how famous and powerful you become, the most important thing is whether you are excited about each and every moment of your life because of your work and people around you.

I left everything I had to become an actor. So, I better be excited, or otherwise, there is no point in doing all this. Else I would end up being disappointed with whatever I achieve.
