More than the hits, flops will have an impact on my career. In fact, flops helped me shape my career. They made me look at things from a different angle.

One wants to entertain the audience till the end. Sometimes, the desire is never-dying, as ANR garu once said. The caveat is that one has to be watchful of public reception.

In India, there are lots of places that I love, but my favourite is Kashmir.

In my family, and especially when I go back to China, it's always like, prepare your stomach, because it's the way that they express love.

My father is very dry and very quick-witted, and my mother is very silly. It was the perfect combination because I got an education in physical and verbal comedy.

I'm happy that the sacrificing, the hard training, the travel, the time being away from the family, is going to stop. So I'm happy; I'm glad about that. But I'm also terrified. Frightened. Because, I mean, in my whole adult life, cycling was the most consistent thing I ever did.
