“I have lived in Mumbai for more than 20 years, have my domicile here, my home and family here.”

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.

The illusion that you could hold to yourself the things you most want and lose the things you least wanted to keep is the struggle of life.

Just be nice to me while I am doing the scene; that is all. I don’t want big cars, I don’t want big hotel rooms.

Whenever I fail as a father or husband. A toy and a diamond always works.

You can love me or hate me but you can’t ignore me.

People will laugh at me, but when they ask me to make a wish for the next life, I will say I want the same parents, same brother and sister, same wife, same friends.

Your friends, family, and kids have to understand that’s your priority. It’s the only way you can be successful.

I’m just trying to be the me that I am and not all of this other crap. I just want to be the family man, and if somehow I can make the money to get my ranch and get the hell away from everybody else, that would be awesome.

I really don’t care what people think of me. I’ve got my family. I’ve got my friends. Yes, I have been trained to be a little more aggressive if I need to be, but I don’t go around thumping people.

I want to give more time to my children, my family, to my health.

My parents have been volleyball players, and my dad is an Arjuna awardee in volleyball.

My grandfather could barely read. My grandmother had a sixth-grade education. They were people who were industrious. They were frugal.

A wise man should marry a virgin of a respectable family even if she is deformed. He should not marry one of a low-class family, through beauty. Marriage in a family of equal status is preferable.
