I can't stand people who have all the money but do not even bother to help innocent children in any small way they possibly can.
Drinking makes people go out of control.

Actors have to maintain their physique, or they will fizzle out!
Youngsters should go to the hills and the seaside once in a while.

There was Rajniji, Subhash Ghai, Dimple Kapadia, Anupam Kher, and a few other friends at my wedding. That's it.
Mukta Arts and I were born on the same day. I am still growing with Mukta Arts.
I like to chat either at my site or, sometimes, through MSN and ICQ. And even if I do reveal my identity, there are a lot of times when no one believes me.
I get online anywhere: at home, in the car, at a shoot.
I have a good ear for music.
After 'Grahan,' you'd be nuts to think I'd try producing again!

Just because you have given five successful films doesn't make you God.
Indian cinema has completed 100 years. How many new stories can you bring every time? It's not possible.
Rituparno is a very simple director. I have never seen Ritu shouting at anyone. The whole atmosphere on his sets is so relaxed that you don't feel that you are working.
I've always played variety of roles and don't want to get typecast.
During my younger days, I used to massage my mother's feet every day and receive her blessings.
I want to pursue farming, and what better place to do it than at a hill station, which has a cool climate almost through the year.
I have acted with Rajinikanth as his elder brother in 'Uttar Dakshin,' and since then, we have been close.
It's easy to say that he/she is a star kid and has had it easy in Bollywood, but being a star kid is the real pressure. You have to undergo a lot of pressure, as you are being constantly compared to your parents.

I keep surprising myself with films like 'Mission Kashmir,' 'Albela,' 'Farz,' and 'Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai.' All the roles are very different.
I never thought I would become an actor. When I started out, I never thought I would come so far. Acting was not my passion. When I experienced the highs of being an actor, I started liking it, and it gradually became my passion.
If someone out there gets his 15 minutes of glory by using my name, so be it.
I don't know myself why directors are offering me negative roles, although I did 'Yaddein' after 'Mission Kashmir' in which I played a very positive character, but people don't remember that.
K. Thiagarajan is a painfully shy young man. But he is the human personification of the idiom 'Still waters run deep.'

If you desire, you are restless.
My birthday is generally a very quiet affair.
I am the most senior actor in 'Devdas,' yet I was not invited to Cannes. I guess these things happen in the industry.
I never ask for a script when it comes to Subhash Ghai. I just do whatever he asks me to.
Every day online is a new discovery.
Telugu heroes are made into demi-gods. The fans here are sincere, and even if the film is bad, they will see it and stand by the actors they like.
It is not a lead part, but you could definitely say that 'Devdas' wouldn't move forward if it wasn't for me.
I wanted to be a chef; I became a hero.
Working with Subhash Ghai is always a different experience. Subhashji is my mentor. I'm always glad to work with him.
Salman Khan is doing really well in his career. I know him since the time he was growing up.
