“My granddad passed away a month before I started shooting for 'Ishaqzaade,' and my mom died just before the film's release, both within a year of each other.”

“Women who want to work should be given the choice to do that. If you decide to work even after getting married, then men should allow that to happen.”

“An actor should never be influenced by the surroundings, because you have to submit completely, and trust me, it's not a good feeling when you know that your father is going to come and watch you work every day!”

“My ambition is very cinema-driven.”

“If I feel insecure, then I am in the wrong profession. I have to trust my director and the material he has given me.”

“I am too ambitious to become a house husband.”

“There is pathos and drama in 'Half Girlfriend.'”

“The flop that hit me was 'Tevar.' It felt like someone knocked the wind out of me. When you do a home production, it always hurts more. I wasn't ready to accept that 'Tevar' didn't do well.”

“I work very hard in the gym. Sometimes, I come home very late, around 1 A.M., but still I go and work out at the gym. I don't ever stop.”

“The choice of films I make is directly proportional to the kind of cinema I have grew up watching.”

“Evolution is a constant state. You evolve and become comfortable in situations in which you might have felt alien in the past.”

“'Gunday' might not be the best film of my life, but it's been a life-altering film for me.”

“I am someone who doesn't talk more than what is required, but I am also a fun person.”

“I am hungry for good work.”

“It's silly to have a prototype, because one inevitably falls for someone unexpected. My only criterion is she shouldn't just look nice; she must have a personality, too.”

“There are some people who cannot watch every film because of age. They might watch only three films in a year.”

“In the beginning, I got different kind of roles, and then I realised it's great to be that way. And that thought is always there before signing a film.”

“I assisted on a lot of films outside my dad's company. I only did two of his films.”

“Hollywood has cracked emotions very well with animation, and that is where India will eventually cover because it is an emotional country, and we just want a right story to tell, which will stir the right emotions with the audience.”

“Who would say no to a film like 'Gunday?'”
