roles stories done
I was overjoyed when I was offered the title role in 'Well Done Abba.' I was ready for the role even before I heard the story because you don't ask questions when it is Shyam Benegal's film. It is the chance of a lifetime.
dark relief roles
I'm an actor, and I don't look at myself as providing comic relief. I have done diverse and dark roles such as a psycho, murderer, and others in films such as 'Don', 'Eklavya' and '3 Idiots.'
roles looks my-family
I just love to work and spend time with my family. And that's the reason I don't look at the length of the role, but what it has to offer me.
mom teacher children
When I was child, I never spoke. Teacher used to write remarks on my note book. My mom sent me to a trainer. I started talking, and it gave me confidence.
jobs character editors
I don't mind being identified as any character as long as I'm doing a good job as an actor. I have done all kinds of roles - from an editor, judge, police officer, murderer to a corrupt businessman.
character proud way
I am very proud to be a part of '3 Idiots,' and happy that the character has worked in a big way.
years play theatre
There's a great charm in theatre; I enjoyed doing it for twelve years and did lots of plays. At this chapter of my life, I am a cinema actor, and I would like to continue to be so, and at some point I would return to the theatre.
country memories years
Very few movies remain in public memory as landmark films, and I want to see whether '3 Idiots' will be up there with some of the wonderful films that have come out of this country Hopefully, we'll come to know in a few years whether it can become one of the great films.
night careers three
I used to follow celebrities, and I remember I watched Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt shooting for 'Sadak'. I was standing on the road at three in the night, but little did I know that I would be making a film with Sanjay at some point in my career.
important world calling
To find one's calling is perhaps not the easiest thing in the world, but probably the most important.
ruins problem one-thing
Fear is one thing that can ruin everything. It's the greatest problem.
art fun acting
Remember, acting is not a business of glamour. It is science, craft and an art. Read about acting; don't do it for the sake of fun. Actors such as Paresh Rawal and Naseeruddin Shah are great examples; they are surviving only because they have read well.
ice-cream ice taste
Chilli ice cream doesn't taste bad. But I wouldn't eat it again.
challenges roles enough
I still reject lead roles, as I don't accept any role if I don't find it challenging enough. I am very careful while making selections.
