great idealistic
Theatre is great, but we don't live in an idealistic world, and we have to pay our bills.
artist attracts bollywood purity strike turns
There is a sense of purity in theatre which always attracts me. Deep down, I feel I am more of an artist than a commodity, which Bollywood turns you into. I want to strike a balance.
believing describe expressed grow love realize
When we are younger, we say a lot of things without often believing in them. The thoughts within you are much more important, and so often, one can't completely describe what one feels. As we grow older, we realize that there is more to love than what is expressed in the conventional sense of the terms.
change explore likes playing roles
There is no need to change my image. I like my image, and the audience likes it, too. I am very comfortable with the kind of roles I do, and as I am not doing the same character or playing myself. I explore my characters; I don't brood over my broody image.
acting good needs package realized sells solid
Over the years, I have realized that there's more to a film's fate than just good acting and a solid script. It needs to be marketed well. It's the package that sells - the songs, action, actors, etc.
bad best lead life run worst
You don't run from the bad things in life; learn from them, because your worst is what will lead you to your best.
people work
Approaching people for work has not worked for me. People who came to me with work has worked.
bad good human
As human beings, we are all flawed. And just like there is a good side, there is also a bad side waiting to find its way out.
comic played role
During my theatre days, I was more comfortable doing comedy. It's such an irony. I have always played a buffoon on stage, and yet I don't have any comic role to my credit.
basis cast essential filmmakers films given offer work
It is important to keep the filmmakers interested in you so they can offer you everything and anything. We actors are not given work on the basis of audience poll; the filmmaker will cast you after they see and like your work. It is essential to do different kind of films and not get typecast.
felt grow helped leave low phase profession string time within wrong
I went through a low phase for two years when I had a string of flops. At that time, I even felt that I was in the wrong profession and that I should leave acting. But thankfully, I utilised that time to introspect and went on a self-exploration trip. I did theatre in between, and it helped grow the fire within me.
movies success
For very long, I wasn't able to find a place for myself in movies. After my initial success, I didn't know how to capitalise on it.
definition explains life love
If someone explains me the definition of love, I will give my life to the person. Love is a thing which is difficult to understand. Love is always evolving.
gut happens letting stand stardom
Stardom happens - you can't plan it - it's destiny, and you shouldn't stand between you and your destiny. I'm letting my destiny play its part, and I go by my gut feeling. If I like my role, I say yes; if I don't, I just refuse, as simple as that.
