I would want my children to grow up and do what they wish to in a field that they choose to step in. They should not have to use the shadow of their father's name. I think that is a bit of a downer for a movie star's children.
Sometimes, I feel the reason I have become a star beyond my films is that I am politically incorrect.
I have no self-centeredness or ego about being a movie star.
I want people to know that movie stars live a normal, middle-class life.
I don't really have much to prove. I can easily go in a comfort zone, make two films a year, hype them because I've signed them as a star, make them cheap and they will be big hits.
I don’t make my kids say I’m their favorite star
There's a personal me, there's an actor me and there's a star me.
Whenever I start feeling too arrogant about myself, I always take a trip to the U.S. The immigration guys kick the star out of my stardom.
I am like a kid. I tell my family and friends I'm like a kid.
I don’t sit around complaining about the lack of good roles. I will play Raj 85 times and still make him different.
If it could have happened through a film that I was associated with, it would have made be doubly proud. It makes me proud anyway. I am not disappointed.
I'd like to believe there's a little of Hitler and Napoleon in me. Even if I try, I can't be as selfless as Mahatma Gandhi and Mother Teresa.
My biggest achievement is that I can make a lot of people smile just by my presence, even if it's a Lux ad.
Recently an actor asked me to teach him how to speak fast. Wasn't I once criticised for speaking too fast? Now they're doing it my way.
