“Whether it is a privilege or whether it is a curse, I came into the industry not because I was seeking to be a star or an actor.”

“Not that I was not getting offers, the big banners might not come but there was still an influx of offers but you know, my growth as an actor was stagnant. I did not want to do the same thing.”

“For me, I always had producers come to me with films, even if it was not like the Khans, but whatever I have got I have tried to give my best to it.”

“I am saying it myself that 'Aashiqui' should not end with me. I don't hold the rights of the film.”

“'The Message' is one of my most ambitious projects in terms of content and story.”

“Mahesh Bhatt introduced me to the world of films.”

“I met a wonderful girl and decided to get married. And when I married, being an actor I did not think I could balance both cinema and personal life. Very difficult to do that because the cinema takes a lot out of you.”

“When I met Sadhana, I thought it was perfect. Apart from the fact that she's a stunning woman, the reason why I love Sadhana is also because the kind of human being she is.”

“When 'Aashiqui' was released nobody knew that it will be such a good film... it is a cult film.”

“I was born with 'Aashiqui.' I am reborn on my birthday with 'Cabaret.'”

“I thrive on being the underdog.”

“I have always had tremendous amount of patience, compassion and forgiveness.”

“You need to walk the line of what you preach. I have learnt that over the years.”

“My relationships have always been very serious.”

“I realized you cannot stay away from Mumbai and pursue your dreams.”

“I had a lot of girlfriends but when you cross the threshold of 30, I wanted to settle down.”

“My thing is whether my film is small, I am still playing the protagonist.”

“All the eight songs of 'Aashiqui' were chartbusters.”

“There was no point of doing films which could not add to my career growth.”

“I still say, 'Aashiqui 2' should be able to stand on its own. But it won't match the craze of the original.”
