Quotes
- “I am still shy when I go to interviews. I want a lot of people to come and watch my film but I can't face (that many) people. After being in the industry for 13-14 years now, I still don't know how to handle stardom. My fans feel bad that their hero doesn't come out so much. I'm better than before, and trying to improve.”
- “When it comes to delving into different genres, I am receptive to any. The script has to intrigue me. I don’t set specific parameters on the type of film I should undertake in advance.”
- “I went to college in buses… (given) my family background, that was big, you know? When I went in the bus, people (said), 'Yeah, he's from a very big family… So, these things helped me work harder.”
