“I truly believe that God has given us few brain cells, and you have to direct them to the right things that make you happy.”

“I'm actually pretty shy in real life. But I guess in front of the camera, I focus.”

“Half the time, people will be abusing me on Twitter, and half the time, somebody will be praising me. So either it will go to my head, or I will take it to my heart. So better I stay away from it.”

“The chemistry of a pair on screen is known only when the audience reacts to it.”

“As an actor, we always want people to write about us and talk about us. And when they are actually writing, then we say, 'Don't write about this.' I am an actor; I am a public property. I don't own myself; public owns me.”

“People feel that I became an actor because I am from a film family and that my parents were actors. But actually, the only reason I wanted to become an actor was to get away from studies.”

“I read autobiographies because there is too much fiction in my life.”

“'Bombay Velvet' is my most romantic film, it's my 'Titanic' or 'Gone With The Wind.'”

“My first film 'Saawariya' was a flop; I don't regret it.”

“It's not that I am not emotional, but I am extremely secure and curb it, as I am afraid to let go and be broken. So, I have cultivated myself to be detached in life, specially where movies are concerned.”

“I hate celebrating birthdays.”

“Movies are a commercial medium. We don't make movies to impress our friends and critics. It's an expensive medium. We have to gain money from it.”

“I am arrogant enough to know that I am a good actor and people will like me for my work.”

“What really matters is your movies and how good a person you are. Otherwise, tabloids and news channels writing about you only builds your curiosity and stardom and propels you to reach wider places.”

“Love is such that God grants us one person who we can spend the rest of our life with. It rarely happens that we don't.”

“I have never been vain. I don't take myself seriously. I don't consider myself sexy or good-looking.”

“I don't have any formula. I just work with my heart, putting in a lot of hard work.”

“I feel old films should not be remade.”

“I was never a bright student, potentially never good at dramatics; I was sometimes given one-line roles that I was happy to do so that I could bunk classes. My mother used to cry three times a year, and that is when my report card used to come.”

“'Saawariya' was my debut film. It will always be the most special film.”
