“Frankly, I just come to the sets, complete my work and go away.”
“I worked in 'Ghar Ek Mandir,' 'Kaahin Kissi Roz' and 'Kabhi Sauten Kabhi Saheli,' but it was 'Kutumb' which was the turning point.”
“I have never shied away from looking old or playing older roles on TV, since I feel my audiences know the real me, so why not have fun with roles that are not me.”
“A job in the television industry does not come with a guarantee. Your show might be axed, your character may get killed or you might be replaced.”
“Divorce isn't the best thing that can happen to anyone.”
“Luckily, I don't have a sweet tooth nor I eat rice.”
“I can't sit idle, as I love to work.”
“My idea of opening a restaurant was important. The whole point is that I couldn't have been totally dependent on acting for my income... even though I want to remain in the field of entertainment forever.”
“No one likes to play grandfather, especially when you are a father of two toddlers in real life.”
“The values my parents taught me were the best gift I ever got.”
“Like, with 'Bigg Boss,' we all are friends and we might meet once the show is over. However, post those obligatory interactions, everyone gets busy with their lives and it is hard to stay in touch.”
“I would only give one piece of advice which I followed myself. Somewhere down the line don't lose yourself. Just be what you are. Don't try to be a different person.”
“I went into 'Bigg Boss' because I wanted to experience what it was like. It was more disorienting than I had bargained for. I began to forget the names of people in my life. It got scary.”
“I am a complete workaholic and hate sitting idle.”
“I will never say that I'm quitting television for films.”
“For films, like my serials, I am looking for roles that help me evolve in the character.”
“There is a constant projection of stereotypes and 'saas-bahu' sagas that keep getting popular as opposed to some experimental storylines.”
“The kind of love and appreciation that I get each day is because of the characters I play on TV.”
“It's great to have something to fall back upon. I don't come from a business family; so I thought of starting something so that my kids also have some backing in future.”
“I take life as it comes and am a chilled out kind of guy.”
