I've always wanted to write, but coming from a small-town background - I was born and brought up in Ludhiana - you think you're not the kind of literary person who will write books that will sell. There was always a kind of defensiveness in me.

My understanding is that a book becomes a best seller only when it is pirated, sold on footpaths and at traffic lights.

I look at every book as a new learning opportunity.

While a lot of management development books try to teach you a lesson or give you a scenario of what corporate culture and work practices are about, they're theoretical and written in a sermonizing way. Most people don't get past the first chapter, and they just look nice on the bookshelf.

I happen to be lucky in that I knew what I wanted to do as far as a career since I was nine years old.

The box office is a black money laundry shop. No business is straight.

Never lend people money you can't afford to give them as a gift.

I gave up acting while I just pursued my music career.
