I come from an everyday middle class family in India. The film industry reached us only through our television sets and cinema halls.

As a child I wanted to be everything from a doctor, lawyer, flight attendant to an IT pro- fessional and could never make up my mind. I figured as an actor I'd get to play all these professions.

I admire Meryl Streep and Dustin Hoffman for their sheer dedication to their craft.

When I was 10, I beat up the school bully. His arms were in casts. That's what gave me the courage.

From the very depth of my being, I challenge the right of any man or any group of men, in business or in government, to tell a fellow human being that he or she is expendable.

The law seems like a sort of maze through which a client must be led to safety, a collection of reefs, rocks, and underwater hazards through which he or she must be piloted.
