If you do not try, you will never succeed. So try and try until you do.
If you love someone truly, just look into her eyes. You will find your soul in her.
My mother is from Chennai, and I have a lot of relatives here.
'Saathiya' is about love, discovering yourself through the way you love someone.
Hits and flops will always be there for any actor.
A director like Ram Gopal Varma brings out a different dimension in your performance.
I am a happy-go-lucky guy in real life. I like to chat a lot.
I think revenge is an extremely potent and powerful weapon, and hatred is more powerful sometimes than love.
All I did was make the best of the opportunity that I got in 'Company.'
Thanks to the wonderful support system provided by my father, I was never insecure about my future.
I'm very secure in my life.
I concentrate on acting while my dad handles the business side of my career.
'Masti' did so well. It was unexpected and clicked very well with masses.
I believe in one principle: Do your work and leave the rest to God.
All I can say is I am lucky I have never had any misunderstandings with my co-stars.
If you love a person truly, you can make an ordinary day very special for her.
If you go to see a film with a woman you love, then even if the film is bad, you can hold hands and laugh at it.
If Bollywood had its temple, then Amitabh Bachchan's idol would be in it.
I don't think 'Road' is an experimental film.
It takes someone like Ram Gopal Varma to change the norms, bend the rules, shake convention, and come up with something like 'Road.'
In 'Road,' my character is linear and uni-dimensional. It was more of a reacting character. I am a foil to the other characters in the film. It is the most normal character in the most abnormal, extraordinary film.
Antara Mali is a fine performer. Her role in 'Road' is in complete contrast to that in 'Company.'
I am really happy and ecstatic that 'Grand Masti' has been such a huge success.
On the sets, I am usually positive, open, and happy. I talk to co-stars, I interact with people on the sets, and I chill.
I am not saying 'Dum' flopped only because of piracy. But the money which went to the offenders could have gone to the producers of the film.
The day my film 'Dum' released, it was available on pirated DVDs and VCDs. They showed the movie on cable channels. It was pathetic. It was so frustrating.
Everyone in Bollywood must unite to fight piracy.
I am not interested in being a star.
I don't believe in the concept of stardom.
I have always loved travelling in autorickshaws.
I like people, and I like to be around people. They are fascinating. I like to behave like a common man. I am a common man.
We have become so used to complaining about the state of our country that we have forgotten what it is to celebrate India, to celebrate what India stands for.
If the world is the body, India is its soul.
I am a hungry actor, and I want to do good films.
I can do very dramatic films, and at the same time, I can do a very meaningless movie, too, if I feel my role is good.
I believe it is tough to be funny and tougher to make people laugh. And it needs to be been done effortlessly. A joke can be comedy, but one can kill the joke if it is delivered badly.
I don't believe in competing with other actors. I believe the only person you can compete is with yourself. You can only do better work compared to your earlier work.
I hold the record for the maximum number of obituaries written for an actor's career.
Life is all about being positive and celebrating what you have in the moment.
I think it is important to be fearless in life. I have always made fearless choices. Some have worked; the others haven't.
I am not a flirt.
My first film was Ram Gopal Varma's 'Company.' I was paid Rs 3 lakhs for it.
Mothers can do anything. They have ways of finding out if you have eaten or not.
I am not crazy about doing Hollywood films.
