I have succeeded at times and failed at others, but I am here to do good cinema.

I didn't think of my job as wanting roles I want to do but roles that suit me.

The Maldives is truly a paradise on Earth.

Marmayogi' has a budget of Rs 110 crore, and I think only a gifted person like Kamal Haasan can do justice to such a film.

My family kept its history to itself. On the plus side, I didn't have to hear nightmarish stories about the Holocaust, the pogroms, terrible illnesses, painful deaths. My elderly parents never even spoke about their ailments.

The only people that you really have, that I learned, are your family, because they love you no matter what.

I founded 'Point Hope' so that I could accomplish some things I wanted to do for children who had no one to advocate for them, children who had no voice. Since I have been blessed with a voice on the radio each night, I thought I would use my celebrity position and my financial resources to help these kids.

It was clear from very early on that I would work in the family company. There was not really ever another option or idea.
