When you have rubbish stuff coming your way, you have to let go.

I believe that everyone has a right to have an opinion about things or people, and fortunately, I have been lucky to have heard usually good things about myself. However, I must admit that people can be quite critical about your role also.

My career choices aren't based on the popularity of my character; I have never intended to capitalise on my fan base.

With respect to keeping your sanity, the more you are dedicated to your job, the more you think about it. And there is so much to think about for the director.

Directing is a very, very difficult job.

If a writer is good at what he does, it's not easy to do a good job every day... To invent something new is almost an impossible task.

The transition from TV to films wasn't overwhelming, since an actor's ultimate job is to act.

I am not the kind of person who makes his bread and butter on how hyped I am. I am an actor, and I do my job.

What I have noticed is that no two places in Calcutta are alike. I like the bylanes and the old places. This city has a lot of character.

If I am offered a biopic on a person people know almost everything about, what is the point doing it? A film on someone about whom very less is known is something that would interest me.

My take is that every character requires a different character to be cast.

The working standards on television in our country are really bad. The sad part is that many actors take this deal because it gets them money and recognition.
