Dearest TV media and vans outside my home, please do not stress and work so hard.

Change is the nature of life but challenge is the future of life. So challenge the changes. Never change the challenges.

When Shah Rukh stated, “Bhootnath... will be among the top three hits of the year!”, I told him, “Aapke moonh mein dudh, ghee, shakkar sab!

Frankly I've never really subscribed to these adjectives tagging me as an 'icon', 'superstar', etc. I've always thought of myself as an actor doing his job to the best of his ability.

Donate and do not talk about it, they say you do nothing for the society; do and talk about it, they say you seek publicity!

I don't use any techniques; I'm not trained to be an actor. I just enjoy working in films.

I have never been a superstar and never believed in it.

Everyone must accept that we will age and age is not always flattering.

I have never really been confident about my career at any stage.

Basically I am just another actor who loves his work and this thing about age only exists in the media.

I sometimes lament the fact that I do not have the benefit of a complete and ailment free body structure.

What a strange world. We trade our days for things.

There were days I could run far, far away, never to see any of these people again.

We [writers] must know that we can never escape the common misery and that our only justification, if indeed there is a justification, is to speak up, insofar as we can, for those who cannot do so.

The true seeker hunts naught but the object of his quest, and the lover has no desire save union with his Beloved.

Our hopes, often though they deceive us, lead us pleasantly along the path of life.

One sometimes weeps over one's illusions with as much bitterness as over a death.

Reality is the leading cause of stress among those in touch with it.

Maybe my work is somewhat divided into family stories, things I know intimately, and then everybody else in the world - the strangers who I am totally fascinated with.

After you die, you wear what you are.

Souls without prayer are like bodies, palsied and lame, having hands and feet they cannot use.
