I'm not a great father and there have been many occasions, when I fall short, but I'm genuinely trying.
Bigg Boss' has given me a more mature audience.
I think you should love your body. Train it properly because the result is always amazing.

I had a good experience while shooting for 'Mahanayak.'
If we think about physical strength and that women lack in it, we must understand that in a tough situation, mental strength is more important than physical power. So, women are equally strong for combat roles.
I believe that destiny has a big role to play in everyone's life.
My wife was an excellent mother, her loss has left a big void in my son's life, and those are shoes that I cannot fill. The loss of a parent has not been easy on him.
My heroes were people like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
As parents, it's easy to not give the child enough credit and not spend enough time together.
In many households today, the woman is also a bread winner and with this financial independence comes the power of making choices.

I am open to doing cinema as long as I find the script right.

I was the first Indian to be featured in the London edition of 'GQ' magazine and it was a six page story.

One of the biggest lessons I've learnt is patience. It's critical when raising a child.
A film career is a natural progression for any model and i'm sure this trend will continue.
When I look at character artistes, they begin after 40. For instance, Boman Irani took up his first film after he was 40. Since I too, am in my 40s, I think I am finally getting to be in my zone.
I can't be the villain that I play in the movies.

I have done many movies. Some simultaneously and others after taking a break.
