I was born in a poor family, a lower middle class family. My father was a clerk in the forest department. I was very bad at studies. I was not very good at sports, also.
I started doing motivational tours. I've seen all kinds of people, from the CEOs to the lowest executive, opening up to their fears. We don't introspect as much as we should.
Success is boring... failure is exciting and more entertaining.
I wrote a book on life coaching, because my life became my own reference point how to live.
Every individual suffers from the fear of failure, but you can change your destiny only when you overcome it.
I approach every role with the same commitment because I'm being paid for it. To not do so would be unethical.
I would like congratulate everyone who was a part of 'Life of Pi.'
I discovered that the world frightens you with your shortcomings, but if you do not worry about it, you are liberated.
I think in my mother tongue. That's Hindi.
As for my stand, I think it has become difficult in our country to be a Hindu and a liberal at the same time.
I'm not a cribber, or someone who criticises. People who criticise are not doers. I'm a doer.
You may be in a medical or engineering college, but not all will stand first in class. It depends on who studies the most.
It is important to be financially savvy when you turn producer. As a director, you just need to have a good script in hand.
I was neither good in sports nor at studies, but I always wanted to stand out and be noticed.
I speak for Kashmiri pundits because injustice has been done to them, and the political discourse doesn't give them enough importance.
Practice makes an actor excel. It is like cycling and motor driving. It is an art, which can be learnt and practised.
I'm very happy doing what I'm doing; I don't think I'm prepared to devote my time to politics. When I am, I'd like to give it 100%. I'm not in the frame of mind, and I'm too greedy an actor to do that.
Being a popular director or actor's son can be frightening in this industry. What if you are not able to make it?
Birthdays are meant for special occasions.
My first Hindi film as a leading man was Mahesh Bhatt's 'Saaransh,' which immediately established me as someone who knows the craft.
