“Any common man can relate to the story that 'Ye Hai Mohabbatein' has.”

“We don't get offered roles because of who we are but because of what we delivered in the past.”

“I am quite a fitness freak. I may not have the time to sleep, but a workout is a must. I have even set up a small personal gym on the sets.”

“My job is to act, so I just focus on that.”

“When I will be with the perfect girl at the perfect place, that would be a perfect date for me.”

“If I was constantly on TV, people would get bored of me.”

“I always try to balance life by thinking failure of any kind, be it relationship or any project, should not affect me as an individual.”

“I am blessed with a funny gene that makes me enjoy life.”

“My mother has always kept the entire family together - my dad, due to his business, has always been travelling, and hence, she at times had to play the role of a father and a mother as well.”

“I used to think I was a big star. And I used to think that the TV industry, Balaji, and my show will not survive without me. But then I realised that you cannot be bigger than your work.”

“People will bring up all kinds of masala, but all that matters to me are my fans. They are my strength. I am overwhelmed by their support and love. It just pays off for all the hard work you put in.”

“I have always been misunderstood.”

“I have had my share of choices and temptations, too; I would not lie about that. And I would also like to confess that had it not been for my mother, I would probably have never been able to make the right decisions during those formative years of my life.”

“People are sensible enough to know who's dragging my name in dirt for publicity.”

“There have been times when I have goofed up, and like every adolescent, I sometimes did get led the wrong way. I would come back home really scared to face my mom's wrath and anger, but surprisingly, I never got to face one. She would always tell me in a very nice manner that what I did was wrong and that I should correct myself.”

“Just because I am a celebrity doesn't mean I can't say, 'Sorry.'”

“Adopting this lifestyle and opting to exercise has helped me a lot in life.”

“My ideal woman would be someone with both beauty and intelligence. Someone who can hold her own in a conversation, gets along with my family and respects elders, loves children, and have a sense of humour as whacky as mine.”

“I've always loved the media and will continue to do so, but I do feel with due respect to all concerned that surrounding us and giving us no space to move becomes difficult when you're out with family.”

“My role model has been Shah Rukh Khan. There is something or the other for one to learn from his career.”
