I am proud of both my kids, Athiya and Ahan. They are good and respectful towards their work and other people.

I think action films are a huge draw in places like Bihar.

Whenever evil is destroyed people are happy. Then what's wrong in depicting positive violence?

When I am in Kolkata, I can't resist the food. I eat everything, but I measure my food intake.

My son does enjoy my action films. But the women in my family would be happier if I did socially relevant films.

You see, I believe a producer's job today is as important as that of a director.

I have managed to stay fit all thanks to my habits. I train regularly and have maintained great fitness habits.

If you don't push yourself to the limit, no one else will do it for you.

When the audience comes out of the theatre, they should remember your role and appreciate you for it. They should not forget you.

As a child, I couldn't afford going to the gym, so I started doing pull-ups, push-ups, suryanamaskar, dand baithak and other forms of yoga. I also trained in martial arts and practiced freehand exercises.

People wrote me off when I joined the industry, my looks were criticised, my acting was slammed, my films didn't do well. These things changed only slowly, and after a struggle.

I think 'Main Hoon Na' is like the comeback of a Manmohan Desai film. Farah Khan made you laugh, cry and dance.

Yeh Tera Ghar Yeh Mera Ghar' is a well made film.

Even I as an individual cannot talk on behalf of the entire industry.

I have always considered Amitabh Bachchan God. There is no other word to describe him.

Considering 'Kaante' is an action film, its music is brilliant.

Producers do not seem to understand that they are cutting into each other's business. They complete their films at the same time and do not space their releases.

Sports seemed an exciting medium to me.

My dad likes my honesty and has always stood by me due to that.

I remember a few years ago, two of my films - Gulzar Saab's 'Hu tu tu' and Shakeel Noorani's 'Bade Dilwala' - were released simultaneously. 'Bade Dilwala' suffered although it was a good film.

Trust, faith and belief in your partner is a basic necessity for any relationship to survive.

Critics matter to me.

Shah Rukh is a one-man industry. You have to accept that and salute him.

To a Sunil Shetty, J P Dutta was god.

I still refuse films offered to me at phenomenal prices and am doing some for peanuts.

I have realised I am a director's actor.

I play Harsh Vardhan, a good cop. 'Baaz' is a thriller, in which you doubt every character. I loved the script, as it is very tight and exciting.

I give special treatment to every single muscle in my body.

My parents had something to say about everything I did. As a kid, I thought they were against me. Now I realise they were mostly right.

Kaante' will help the film industry. Very few films are like this one - pre-production in Europe, one-schedule shoot, well planned post-production.

Working with a Hollywood unit was absolutely delightful. I felt like an actor. I was treated like one. I performed like one.
