Every time I've crossed to a new level of film acting, the film has been a breakthrough project.
It's your own fear of failure that stops you from doing things.
It's important for couples to be friends first and to respect each other as individuals.
I'm not a cribber, or someone who criticises. People who criticise are not doers. I'm a doer.
I think in my mother tongue. That's Hindi.
Actors in the film industry are usually wary of expressing their opinions on the issues of the day, politics especially.
'Silver Linings' has proved a golden opportunity for me.
Success is boring... failure is exciting and more entertaining.
Practice makes an actor excel. It is like cycling and motor driving. It is an art, which can be learnt and practised.
I started doing motivational tours. I've seen all kinds of people, from the CEOs to the lowest executive, opening up to their fears. We don't introspect as much as we should.
Our school not only makes you an actor, it makes you understand who you actually are as well... it gives you discipline and punctuality. It also teaches you a way of life.
I was 28 when I played the role of a 65 year old man in my first film.
I was born in a poor family, a lower middle class family. My father was a clerk in the forest department. I was very bad at studies. I was not very good at sports, also.
I enjoy being recognized. I'll be very sad if people stop recognizing me. I'll be very sad if I'm not interviewed, because that's a very amazing process.
