Nothing comes easy in life, but politics is incredibly difficult.
I entered politics from a filmi background and had no idea about that world. Slowly, I realised that it did not suit me, and that's when I decided to get out of it.
I do not have any regrets of having joined politics. Though the experience was bitter, even that taught me a lot of things. Only after I entered politics did I realise what it is.
Music is the life of a film.
No one works with an actor or a director for friendship.
I have many dear friends in the film industry, but finally, the roles come to me on merit, not because of personal equations.
By God's grace, 'Abhinay Chakra' has shaped up very well.
I am doubtful about reuniting with David Dhawan.
Ranveer Singh and Varun Dhawan both have a body like Salman Khan. But they can't say it. If they call themselves as Salman Khan, then they won't get films. They can't afford to be against Khan. This is how the filmy world works.
I don't like it when people act extra-familiar and pretend that they are my best friends when they are actually not.
I have been an actor for more than 125 films now. People see me every day, every hour, be it on TV or in newspapers.
Screen-pair magic doesn't come with two people. It comes with 10 people.
Nobody is allowed to make money by defaming me. I may forgive, but I'll never forget.
I have worked with producers like Saif Ali Khan and Salman Khan, and there have never been any complaints about my late-comings.
I think and write whenever I want an outlet.
I don't mind playing even a grandfather provided the role is good.
Work satisfaction is important to me.
It doesn't make a difference to anybody if I accept or quit a film.
The people in my family couldn't adjust to the political atmosphere around me. I didn't want my political ambitions to cause stress or trauma for my family. I didn't want any name, fame, or money at the cost of my family.
I never planned my movies. I never selected subjects to win the National Award. I did films that made the masses happy.
