“There are many factors that make a serial hit or flop, but what is important is the character.”

“When I get a role similar to the ones I have played earlier, I try to do something different with the part.”

“Besides 'Mahabharat,' I am also acting in two serials - 'Karam Apnaa Apnaa' and 'Kyunki.' Three serials at one time mean I won't have time for anything else.”

“Reality show was an option and so we did 'Nach Baliye.' Looking back, the journey was very nice, with lots of ups and downs.”

“The people of U.P. are very simple and grounded. They take pleasure in admiring arts and cinema. This is why it is emerging as a big market for filmmakers.”

“Bigg Boss' for me was a different experience altogether and if I get a chance to push my boundaries again, I would love to be a part of it.”

“I have not been following 'Bigg Boss' that much but after being on the show and being on the other side I am sure I would want to watch it and know all about the contestants.”

“I have started my own restaurant.”

“I did 'Chhoti Bahu' because I had a negative role in the show.”

“It's not as if people don't know my real age or anything. It's like you're watching a college drama where someone's playing a father, a mother or even a grand father, but every one knows they are actually college students.”

“I have done a lot of TV shows.”

“I have been a part of several shows, however this is the first time I am hosting a crime reality show. 'Savdhaan India' is a unique show that showcases how ordinary people have fought crime and stood up for their rights.”

“I started my career by doing plays in theatre.”

“My kids are very active and want to know about everything. I like to be around to teach them stuff.”

“Kyunki' will never end. The way the story is going I don't see an end. People always complain that it's dragging along but they have to watch it every night!”

“Whenever I get time from my TV shoots, say 10-15 days at a stretch, that's when I complete shooting for films.”

“People are ready to take good actors, irrespective of whether he is a TV actor or a filmstar.”

“I am a good father in real life, that's why I'm able to play a good father on screen so convincingly.”

“When my wife Gauri visited the 'Bigg Boss' house, I can't tell you how overjoyed I was to see her. The level of isolation in that house hit me hard when I saw her there.”

“In an acting career, you need to reach a stage where you can say 'Thank you very much, I can't do this role because I have done this before or I don't like it.'”
