From God, I have the strength and intelligence to have alternatives and can live even without football.

When you want to win, you are doomed to suffer conflicts.

People are marked down for their age - once you get past 30, people look at you a bit funny. When you get to 35, the questions are all, 'When are you going to stop?' Calm down!

I've already promised that I want to end my career where I started it, as a way of thanking those who gave me the chance to make my name in football. I want to have a spell there before I retire, but one that's enjoyable for me and for them, too.

I have carried the burden of my dad's image since day one. They never see me as just another guy trying to make his career in the film industry. I am always 'Megastar' Chiranjeevi's son first, and Ram Charan only later.

I do love my work. As an actor, you live from job to job, though, and you have to be prepared for that.

I want to improve every season, every training session. I'll continue that until I finish my career.

I've spent my career trying to help people without connections understand what's going on so that they have a chance of getting a fair shake from the connected and the powerful.
