My first film was a super-hit. It made the producer earn a lot of money and gave me a lot of fame. The funny part is that I acted in Tum Bin' as a project for which I was paid a stipend and not the money that comes to the star of a very popular film.

As far as my absence from the public eye is concerned, that's because I'm publicity shy - something which is not considered good nowadays.

Kids are smart nowadays, they are much more aware of their surroundings than we were 20 years ago, but at the same time it is important that they are guided as a friend when they go through adolescence.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

I have had a wide range of projects to choose from. That has saved me from donning a stereotypical image.

I think hosting is a far better option than acting in soaps as one feels much more responsible for the show.

Like every one, I too enjoy commercial success but for me it is certainly not the end of world.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

All my summer and Puja vacations were spent in Calcutta with my didima and a host of other relatives and friends.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

I love the whole Punjabi culture as I have seen it very closely in Delhi in my growing up years.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

Small films, made on shoe-string budget work in big centres, and for that a substantial amount of budget should be set aside for marketing.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

I didn't want to be a hero and get into the mould but the film industry doesn't work like that. It has a habit of branding you in a specific image to market you easily.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

This industry is in a hurry to gain solid results. They expect a hero or a heroine to get intimate on the first day of meeting for the good of the film, which is against my temperament. I draw a line, which the industry doesn't like.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

In West Delhi I lived a very Punjabi way of life; I have always loved its gregariousness, courage, fun, drama and day-to-day joy of living and celebrating.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

I used to live in Rajouri Garden. I was a shy child, dutiful to parents, serious in studies but happier on the sports ground.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

I was married once. When the tinsel from Tum Bin' was wearing off, so was the happiness from my first marriage. Ever since, I've been wary of marrying again.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

I'm from a typical middle-class family in Delhi, with one of the most down-to-earth childhoods.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

My father initiated me to the Hanuman Chalisa and my mother to the rituals and community feelings of Durga Puja. I still have that in me and want to come back to Delhi whenever I can to imbibe more.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

Everybody I meet is a star. In Bombay it is crazy and even TV has become so big that there are just too many stars and there is too much greed for that little space on the newspaper.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

There is no Plan B. I love to act and I enjoy what I do.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

There were offers to do 'Tum Bin 2' and 'Tum Bin 3' but then it would have been the same kind of franchise films which I think limit an actor.

Priyanshu Chatterjee

Is that bad? Detachment in the sense that I can't be going to every party, showing my face, talking to the press and telling them what I am wearing to the bathroom or where I eat. I would rather see a purpose to that.
