I savour the adulation and love I have been getting from my fans and the blessings of elders in my family. Fourteen years have given me a lot and I can't thank God and the industry enough.
I'm an athletic actor. I'm known for my action; I'm a guy who does my own stunts on screen.
My love for sports will never die. I love martial arts and I want to promote it in whichever way I can. I am a fighter first, then an actor.
I could break bricks with my hands when I was 12.
I would just like to tell my fans how much it means to me to make a movie that they like.
I have never believed in being part of any one group or camp.
The day I take either my body or my work for granted will be the day you hear that I've smashed every inch of myself to pieces.
I do not stick to rules when cooking. I rely on my imagination.
When you taste super-success after tasting super-failure, there is huge relief.
I'm not hungry for success. I am only hungry for good work, and that is how it is with most superstars. Every day I tell myself how fortunate I am to be where I am.
I do not hold God ransom to my success; whatever is his will is my way. I stand by moments; I do not stand by time.
I'm a realist. Where I come from, 'phenomenons' don't exist. I'm from a land where people make mistakes and try again, harder, faster; where negativity is not an option.
To be honest I had learnt martial arts for a girl. So I started learning the art to impress her, but eventually I started loving martial art more than the girl. So later it became a habit it became fun.
I hate partying. If I'm forced to go to a party or a social gathering, I go in at 9:30 and leave at 10 P.M.
