“Tiger is free to explore the world himself. He is a man whose persona is totally different from what I had during my initial days. There can't be any comparison between the two of us, since he is absolutely different.”
“I like to chat either at my site or, sometimes, through MSN and ICQ. And even if I do reveal my identity, there are a lot of times when no one believes me.”
“I've got more than half of Mumbai addicted to the Internet.”
“Every day online is a new discovery.”
“I follow the faith of all religions. My mother gave me abundant love when I was a child. She taught me the ways to lead life, and I have been a firm believer in all religions since then.”
“The love in the old days had a certain grace, quintessential feel to it. Now everybody is busy in their phones.”
“India is the biggest democracy. We have the right to say what we want to say, and people have the right to protest.”
“We never splurge on Diwali. How much can you spend on yourself? As it is, we do that throughout the year, so why not do something for others during Diwali?”
“I was someone who was trying to make it into the world of glamour. On the other hand, Tiger has also been an athlete and a sports person. He is making his own choices instead of being under my shadow.”

“If someone out there gets his 15 minutes of glory by using my name, so be it.”

“It isn't easy being a star kid that way when you have to tackle all the pressure and still make your mark.”
“There are many similarities between Sai Baba and me. He believed there is only one God, and so do I. He loved Sufi music; so do I.”
“What I treasure the most is people coming up to me in the elevator and saying, 'You really did a great job': neighbours who congratulate for a job well done or little fans who hug me and say they want to be like me.”
“Believe it or not, I always found intimate scenes hard to do.”
“I went to a hotel to become a chef and then tried becoming a flight attendant, but no one took me. I then worked in a travel agency and got into advertising and modelling after someone spotted me. So I started doing ads. I did 'Charminar' ad, because of which I got two films.”
“I want to pursue farming, and what better place to do it than at a hill station, which has a cool climate almost through the year.”
“Drinking makes people go out of control.”
“I've always played variety of roles and don't want to get typecast.”
