claim led life love stories
I don't claim to have led a saintly life. There have been a lot of one-sided love stories in my life.
analyse esteem people
I think that I have self esteem issues, really. If you really analyse it... People who really like me I have no interest in. The unattainable is always that I want to attain.
box complete dad father films five flat graduation hugely hyped keen lost money mother movies pay remember sell
My mother was keen that I complete my graduation and never ever wanted me to be in the movies, as my father had made five films that lost money. One of the films he made was 'Agneepath,' which was hugely hyped but underwhelming at the box office, and I remember that my dad had to sell my grandmother's flat to pay off the loan.
either
It can be either of the two Fridays.
amazing bless chosen fantastic feeling god looking nobody touched wonderful work
He was looking amazing. He was feeling amazing and I think it was just wonderful to have him back on the set and we were very touched that we were the chosen ones that he started to work with. I just want to say that there's nobody like him. God bless him. Its was a fantastic day of work of work we had on the 20th of March.
dna important kind
Legal documents have mistrust written all over them. It's unfortunate, but the human DNA is so tuned to kind of taking you for granted that we tend to protect ourselves legally. That's why I don't read them as, if I read them, I will go soft. To me, the human relationship is far more important than the professional bond I share with anyone.
winning long india
I want to walk the red carpet at the Oscars. I am in awe of the ceremony, and winning an Oscar would be the most magical moment of my life. I want to make that speech and hold that trophy and say, 'This is for you, India.' That's the line I have rehearsed for God knows how long. But that has to be for a Hindi language film.
thinking film endeavor
I think the endeavor is to just make your film and then hope it travels as much as it can.
enough educated misconception
I'm not of the religion but I'm educated enough to understand there is a misconception about it globally.
children party thinking
As a child, as a cinemagoer, I think there is nothing better than being in a cinema or watching a film. I think it's just a while magical... it almost feels like you're at a big party in India, where you're singing, you're dancing, you're laughing, you're crying, you feel like you're at a wedding because our films invariably cover all emotions.
two atmosphere
I am a Gemini and can adapt to most atmospheres. You get two for the price of one when you are a Gemini.
new-york couple gay
I saw 'Brokeback Mountain' in a packed house in Chelsea, New York, when I was filming a Bollywood film there. Chelsea, being a predominately gay neighbourhood, had the most euphoric reaction. I saw couples holding hands and crying at the end. It was the most heartening viewing I have ever been to.
song religious sleep
I am a product of Indian cinema; I've grown up watching Indian films ever since I can remember. And song and dance is part of our lives; it's part of our culture; we wake up to songs, we sleep to lullabies, you know, we celebrate every religious and traditional function with music.
loving-you parent
It's all about loving your parents.
