Ranjeet

“I did not have a godfather.”

“I can say I've been a loyal husband. Marriage is based on trust.”

“I can say that I have lived very gracefully.”

“Because of my negative image, people used to hate me. I remember an incident while shooting for 'Zamaanat.' I was bitten twice by a cobra and the crew went to call a lady doctor whose clinic was close to the sets. She just refused to attend to me!”

“Every woman is possessive though she may not show it.”

“I don't like going out or attending award ceremonies.”

“My earnings were through evil portrayals.”

“I have lived life on my own terms.”

“Growing up, I played soccer and wanted to be a sportsman.”

“Movies are the biggest entertainer in India.”

“Thankfully, TV has given me another platform to showcase my versatility.”

“I'm a vegetarian but not a pandit.”

“I was born in in Amritsar, the eldest of the four siblings.”

“Work is work for me. I can do any work in the field of acting. Be it films, television or theatre, I am willing to do anything.”

“Since most heroes are doing villainous roles these days, that thrill is lost. Earlier, there used to be a hero, a heroine, a villain and such. The villain's entry would generate a lot of curiosity among the audience back then.”

“Out of the 450-500 films that I've done, I have probably watched 10 of them.”

“Sunil Dutt asked me, rather pushed me, to join politics.”

“I like Ranchi's pleasant weather, more so because I am fond of the rainy season. Wherever I go, my visit ushers in the monsoons.”

“I was constantly being approached to play the anti-hero on the screen and I continued with it.”

“It might sound unconvincing when an actor like me who has done 500 films says that television is more competitive than movies, but that is the plain truth.”
