My father said that I will be an actor, but I scoffed at him.
I went to a hotel to become a chef and then tried becoming a flight attendant, but no one took me. I then worked in a travel agency and got into advertising and modelling after someone spotted me. So I started doing ads. I did 'Charminar' ad, because of which I got two films.
I can work with both the old, revered filmmakers and new directors. It is amazing how they see me in their world, and then I adapt accordingly.
I believe in my mother's blessings. And as far as Sai Baba is concerned, I believe there is only one God.
There are many similarities between Sai Baba and me. He believed there is only one God, and so do I. He loved Sufi music; so do I.
Everybody knows Sai Baba. Being an actor, I had to be extremely convincing while portraying the role.
Can there be any other gift in the world greater than the blessings and goodwill of people?
What's there in a name! Some people call me Jai, while others call me Jaggu, Kishan, Jackie, or Bhidu.
When I go out, a lot of people and their tiny tots call me Tiger Shroff's daddy.
I developed a passion for cars when I was a kid. I found a tyre on the street, and I figured that I could roll it successfully. That made me love wheels.
I love paan. I have been having it since I was a teenager.
I don't use supari at all, as that gets stuck in your throat.
Winning is a different thing, but even being nominated for an award like Filmfare is an honour.
Tiger is free to explore the world himself. He is a man whose persona is totally different from what I had during my initial days. There can't be any comparison between the two of us, since he is absolutely different.
I was someone who was trying to make it into the world of glamour. On the other hand, Tiger has also been an athlete and a sports person. He is making his own choices instead of being under my shadow.
All my life, I have lived in the chawls. They are my people.
I still work with my heart.
My work is my break. It takes me to different parts of the world, and I get to meet different people.
I am what I was before joining films. Nothing has changed, and I hope nothing will ever change. I'll always remain the way I am.
A good film is a good film.
