I have worked with producers like Saif Ali Khan and Salman Khan, and there have never been any complaints about my late-comings.

I've been learning martial arts - nothing specific, as then it becomes one-sided - but basic exercises.

I don't think much about how my past films have performed at the box office.

I don't think the failure of one film means the end of your career.

My mother made me take piano lessons, and because I am her oldest and she had not yet been worn down by the task of prodding five children to practice every day, she kept me practicing despite my whining.

There are many ways of encouraging people to make life better other than joining a political party. Politics with a small 'p' isn't just about darkened committee rooms, endless meetings - it is about giving people the right to make decisions about our lives.

My mother played piano at home; she came from a musical family. Her father, who I never met, was a conductor and composer.

I lost my father four years ago to what was the culmination of a manic episode that seemingly, to my family, came completely out of the blue after 59 years on this earth with no issues that we knew about, at least - sort of a normal run-of-the-mill guy who did his job and came home and had a family.
