I am feeling as if my parents are my children. I'm extremely protective about both of them while on the set

I want to become a superstar, but for that, I first have to be a super actor.

I truly believe that God has given us few brain cells, and you have to direct them to the right things that make you happy.

I want to reach the heights of stardom beyond my imagination.

I believe that working with good people matters because then the work environment is good. If there is a sense of respect and belief among the people you work with, that is when good work is done.

Happiness exists only if you have a lot of people to share it with.

I’ve always had a big crush on Arjun Rampal. He’s so damn good looking

I'm quite detached from failure and success. Once a shooting is done, I kind of close that chapter in my life.

On the set of Besharam I had to refrain from smoking, out of respect for my parents

I myself am a great James Dean fan. He had this aura and enigma about him.

I’m not producing movies to make money

You cannot till this year’s land using last year’s sun.

Withdrawing back is like ending school withouth examination which means your not tested to face the professional aimed at. Never get back on the aimed forward processes.

Equality of talents, of education, or of wealth can not be produced by human institutions.

I love directing because you get to see your film come to life. You get to work with the actors. There's something magical about each piece of it.

Clouds cannot cover secret places, nor denials conceal truth.

Consider and act with reference to the true ends of existence. This world is but the vestibule of an immortal life. Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.

No one is going to feel sorry for you, so you have to go out there and be fierce.

One of the pieces of advice that we give at YC is: try to work together on a project rather than just doing an interview.

Be passionate and bold. Always keep learning. You stop doing useful things if you don't learn.

That's the danger of having too much success. You lose that magic, that feeling of not being in control, which I feel now, it's too controlled.
