“I believe that people should believe people around them, they should treat each other with kindness.”

“I love Delhi for its historical value and the variety of food it offers.”

“I have done too many movies but too little variety.”

“I do enjoy cricket, but the game is over hyped.”

“I have enjoyed doing some films as they were well written like 'Andaz Apna Apna,' 'Hera Pheri' and 'Cheeni Kum.' These films were high on the comedy quotient as the characters were creating a comic situation.”

“Theatre is an actor's medium. An actor has little control over a film. Which is why most actors who have done theatre, and then come to films find the former more creatively satisfying.”

“To make anything successful, you need a good writer.”

“I do theatre for my personal satisfaction and enjoyment.”

“I'm fortunate to have got the opportunity to play interesting characters.”

“Before passing a judgement on somebody just give it a thought about what he or she went through.”

“I like simple home-cooked food.”

“A good comedian has to be a fine actor all around.”

“I frequently visit Ahmedabad. My sister lives here.”

“At the end of the day, my bread and butter comes from films, so I have to work in films that may not have a great script, but give me a fat pay cheque.”

“Play is a medium of word and film is a medium of picture.”

“I will never stop performing on stage.”

“Films are meant for the masses, for the purpose of entertainment.”

“We knew no matter how well 'Phir Hera Pheri' does, it would always be compared to 'Hera Pheri.' Yet, we took it as a challenge.”

“Any role that is well-written, exciting and something that I am comfortable with interests me whether it's comic or tragic. It could be in a film, play or TV.”

“Writing a comedy script is a difficult thing. I think if someone is attempting a comedy and then they fail then it's understood.”
