“My life may seem glamorous from the outside but off screen it’s as ordinary as anyone else’s.”

I learnt very early in life that whenever there is a choice between peace of mind and piece of ass, go for the former.

Whenever you’re feeling down. And I am not around let the sight of me be the reason you smile.

I don’t teach my children what is Hindu and what is Muslim.

Well Mandira, I hope not. You see, I started both their careers. And as far as I can remember, I started yours too.

Whether people like it or not, my marketing thought is if you keep something in front of people for too long, they get used to it.

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

The atheist, by merely being in touch with reality, appears shamefully out of touch with the fantasy life of his neighbors.
