People should mind their own business. This particularly applies to those who are inquisitive, and those who jump to conclusions.

Being sensitive means caring for your own feelings as well as those of others.
Of course I would recommend marriage to others. Times are changing, even in the past people had kids without getting married but marriage gives stability to your family and people around you. It's a working institution and it can fail in certain situations.
Sometimes, there is a long gap between the time the script was written and when it went on the floors. Being on the sets can be refreshing, as you can revive the script in some ways.
A new couple does a lot of things for each other. And slowly they lose interest and it affects the relationship. It is a part of life and a lot of people experience this.
I know 'Dabangg' has some pre-requisites. Every film has some requisites that you have to fulfill. I sat down with my writer and discussed what as an audience I want to see in the second part of the film. We worked towards that and we hope what we thought connects with the audience.
Fatherhood has gone and done much more than marriage. It has made me a far more responsible person.
You just can't put a '3' after the title of the film. If you have a franchise that has worked, it does not mean that you can go on making it.
There is no need to do a rush job on any film.
You ask anyone in college, how would you like your wife or girlfriend to be? No one wants the ugliest girl in the world who no one wants to look at. Out of 100 people, all 100 will say that I want the most beautiful woman in the world.
Sometimes, the money is exciting. You want to buy a house, or a car, and then you jump into it. So, there are a lot of things that come into consideration, and that's fair enough. There may or may not solely be one reason why you do films.
I have a dormant director in me. I do think about subjects and films I want to make. I get pretty excited about them.
I began as an assistant director to Mahesh Bhatt sahab on films like 'Zulm,' 'Kabza' and 'Aawargi' during the '80s. Then I got an opportunity to act and I took it up thinking direction was something which I could always pursue later.
I may or may not have disappointed Malaika as a boyfriend and a husband, but not as the father of her child.
Ultimately, we stars are human being at the end of the day. We also have bad habits, weaknesses, we also make mistakes.
Everyone knows we are thick as thieves. We're very close and we respect each other. Of course, Salman has achieved far more, and we're really happy with that. As long as we keep doing whatever we like, it doesn't bother us.
I spoke to my father about making a documentary on him. I have been seriously contemplating that.
Salman has his own personal equation. I have my own personal equation. We are sometimes not even a part of each other's celebration or happiness. But we are definitely there when somebody is down.
As for action, yes 'Wanted' was a success in the action genre. But not to the extent of 'Dabangg.'
I am pretty well versed in the knowledge of music.
To be frank, my career as an actor was not even taking care of my lifestyle. Doing two odd films a year wasn't making me financially secure.
I am fine if videos and pictures are clicked when there are legit events and interviews. If I am sitting and having a private dinner with my son, my family or my girlfriend, then I do not want it to be filmed.
No one is going to keep giving me work because I am Salman Khan's brother. People may give me one or two films because of Salman but no one can make my career. I have to work towards it.
But, perfection is something that is a constant thing you need to achieve. It is not that you have achieved it and it's gonna stay. It's everyday hardwork.
I'm quite comfortable being the husband of a woman who's a big celebrity. And of course a superstar's brother. It's not an enviable place to occupy but it's the reality. I'm very closely related to two very successful people and I accept that happily.
Unlike many others, I anyway don't post much from my personal life on social media; it's mostly work related. And when I post something, I'm aware that not everyone would have nice things to say; I'm fine with it.
Dolly Ki Doli' excited me because it has unique characters. Though it is a smaller film and without a big star, it is still a mainstream film.
Dabangg' symbolises entertainment, drama, good music, actions and we have tried to give doses of all of that in the sequel too.
Characterisation is more important to me than the script. A decent story and extraordinary characters can do wonders for a film, but you cannot do it the other way around.
Though I may not have left a huge mark, I did create some ripples. People would recollect there was an actor called Arbaaz Khan.
There are only advantages of being Salim Khan's son, Salman Khan's brother and coming from a known family.
I have no problem with trolls or negative comments.
I started my production house with the idea of directing one day.
My family, we siblings are there for each other.
Honestly, I always had the silent ambition of being a director.
The audiences everywhere feel the same emotions. That's why when movies do well in an industry, they become popular all over.
I am looking forward to work on digital platforms more often than not.
In Bollywood, birthday celebrations are usual and very carefree.
I may be a bit innocent but I don't think I am that dumb.
Our father has taught us that 'if you are together, nobody will try to break you.' That's unity and it has power.
I'm a practical actor and work keeps me occupied. It takes care of my bills, so there are many reasons for which I work.
I know there are insecurities in being an actor. There are certain compromises you need to make, but they are all worth it.
I think the audience will be pleasantly surprised to see what I have attempted with 'Dolly Ki Doli.' I am confident that this movie will be accepted.
A hero can get a positive response with a few flaws in him.
I don't see myself turning into a romantic hero. I may not be comfortable doing that. I may not be cut out to do that. It may not even suit my image.
Actors who are not accepted are the ones who have to put in the extra effort to get somewhere in their careers. But once you achieve that, everything becomes easier.
I don't think too far ahead.
When you are living alone then you tend to take life casually.
A sequel is going to be a pressure no matter who directs it. A sequel is only made when the original film works.
There will always be a sense of things you want to achieve, where you want to be, a sense of disappointment, a few regrets here and there. Those are always going to linger. How you cope with them and how you move on is what your life is about.
