I am a simple person; I come from a very simple home. We believe in enjoying life and what we have.
Vivek Oberoi
People will try to pull you down, but you need to fight the negativity in your life. It's always good to stay positive and think positive.
If you love someone truly, just look into her eyes. You will find your soul in her.
If I have superpowers, I would eliminate all negative people and all negativity from this world.
I think revenge is an extremely potent and powerful weapon, and hatred is more powerful sometimes than love.
Life is all about being positive and celebrating what you have in the moment.
I am not saying 'Dum' flopped only because of piracy. But the money which went to the offenders could have gone to the producers of the film.
If you love a person truly, you can make an ordinary day very special for her.
I don't think 'Road' is an experimental film.
There is less plastic in Tupperware factory than our film industry. People with plastic smile and plastic heart.
I can do very dramatic films, and at the same time, I can do a very meaningless movie, too, if I feel my role is good.
I am not a fool. I know where I stand in terms of box office returns.
I'm blessed with more than I could dream of.
I don't usually talk about the social work I do because I don't do it for publicity. If I can bring a smile to the face of a few children in this one lifetime, I'd be happy.
I don't believe in competing with other actors. I believe the only person you can compete is with yourself. You can only do better work compared to your earlier work.
Antara Mali is a fine performer. Her role in 'Road' is in complete contrast to that in 'Company.'
For 'Rakht Charitra,' I had to gain and lose weight. I simultaneously shot the film in three languages - Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi.
I'm very secure in my life.
I feel an image is a creeping jail growing all around you without you even realising it. Suddenly, you are trapped, and an actor should never be trapped.
By virtue of being a half Punjabi and half Sikh, tandoori chicken was my staple diet.
I'd work with anyone that the script requires me to. I'd never let my personal biases rule my judgement.
'Dum' is not about the bicep. It is about soul.
Yes, I do write poetry. It's very therapeutic. I'm influenced by Pablo Neruda and Gulzar Saab. It's all very personal.
Women are better than man at valuing relationships and much better than men in terms of contributing towards a relationship.
Hits and flops will always be there for any actor.
I am not a flirt.
I keep saying this to everyone: 'Grand Masti' is a family film that the entire family needs to watch - independently!
On the sets, I am usually positive, open, and happy. I talk to co-stars, I interact with people on the sets, and I chill.
I don't want anything negative in my life, like hate, comparison, competition, and jealousy. I think these things are very heavy and take away from you the way of enjoying life.
I am fascinated by Shah Rukh Khan. He is brilliant.
I believe it is tough to be funny and tougher to make people laugh. And it needs to be been done effortlessly. A joke can be comedy, but one can kill the joke if it is delivered badly.
I'm someone who has always had a positive outlook towards life.
'Saathiya' is about love, discovering yourself through the way you love someone.
Acting is a state of being, and the camera can tell instantly if you're lying. But there are many different ways to approach that state of being. Each director has his own approach to the situation, and that's really interesting.
As for politics, I share good relations with people across parties, not any particular one.
I think there are just bad films and good films. Period.
Mumbai is where my heart is. This is home.
The day my film 'Dum' released, it was available on pirated DVDs and VCDs. They showed the movie on cable channels. It was pathetic. It was so frustrating.
No one knows why a film does well or not. The reasons for this are not important. What is important is the intention you start the film with and the final state when the film releases on a Friday - whether people liked it or not.
I am not interested to do a five-minute role in a film which is not exciting to me.
When you go for first date, you are so conscious about what you are wearing, how you smell, how much money you have in your wallet. You have to plan the day - you have to plan the traffic - but in a relationship, you take all the things for granted.
I love acting in Tamil cinema. I have decided quite consciously to do at least one good film every year in Tamil.
Everyone in Bollywood must unite to fight piracy.
A director like Ram Gopal Varma brings out a different dimension in your performance.
I think it is important to be fearless in life. I have always made fearless choices. Some have worked; the others haven't.
Thanks to the wonderful support system provided by my father, I was never insecure about my future.
If Bollywood had its temple, then Amitabh Bachchan's idol would be in it.
I am not crazy about doing Hollywood films.
Dad is the one I turn to for critique. It helps me to keep growing. When he said 'I am so proud of you,' it meant so much to me.
All I did was make the best of the opportunity that I got in 'Company.'
