Rajesh Khattar

“Emotions have a way of transcending geographies and cultures and hence I don't think that an Indian woman is any different from a Turkish woman.”

“Well, honestly, I give my best to every role, be it good or bad.”

“After acting for four years, in five languages, theatre became my stepping stone to TV and cinema.”

“It's very important that your kids get to do what they want to, and not what you want them to do.”

“My son Ishaan's passion for movies and his exposure to world cinema infuses me with optimism.”

“It is foolish to compare Shahid and Ishaan. Shahid has made it on his own. So will Ishaan. He did not get a Majid Majidi film because he is Shahid Kapoor's brother.”

“For me, becoming a father at 50-plus was another challenge, but then, I am neither the first one, nor the last in this category.”

“Dubbing has become big now with dubbed versions of 'Baahubali' doing so well.”

“I've got my fair share of appreciation, and I've definitely grown as an actor, but I never expected to be an icon.”

“I am extremely frustrated with my son Ishaan Khattar being referred to as 'Kapur' time and again in the media. I am anguished and feel helpless.”

“After a time, all children have to be on their own. Though as parents you always want to cushion them, however, when life throws new challenges, they have to take their own calls.”

“People appreciate those who've enabled them to watch highly entertaining movies by demolishing the language barrier.”

“As voiceover artistes, we don't transcribe; we translate. One has to communicate what the character is feeling, and introduce humour where needed with a regional flavour that the audience can relate to.”

“With Netflix here, more shows will be dubbed to reach as many as eyeballs as possible.”

“Try finding a better villain than me. I am the best of the worst!”

“Getting a random star whose voice is not the right fit for the character but simply adds star value is avoidable as that can actually irk the audience.”

“Ishaan looks up to Shahid. When Shahid started his career Ishaan was a child.”

“I have done almost 100 movies and given voice over for almost all Hollywood stars.”

“The big difference lies in the pay cheque and the billing in the credits. I have been voicing for a decade, and if you don't get good billing, it does hurt.”

“Star voices are not cheap. So if they're not bringing the desired result for the studio, why not pay the VO artists better.”
