I can never ever forget Bhojpuri cinema because that is where I got my due. I can never turn my back on the Bhojpuri film industry.
Chhath Puja is very close to my heart. Few years back, I did a movie titled 'Chhathi Maiyya.' After acting in this movie, I came to know more about the festival. Since then, I always wanted to perform Chhath Puja like other devotees do.
I am a person who can never pretend and manipulate - I am what you see me as.
Salman is a very good friend of mine and all I wish for him is happiness. He is very helping and has done immense charity work which helps many.
My father was a priest, so it was natural for us to read the 'Ramayana' and inculcate its values in our life.
I can relate with a woman's pain, their moods, their love, their passion. Maybe the percentage of woman in me is more. Maybe, being a Shiva devotee helps me. And that is why I can take so many avatars in front of the camera.
It is saddening to see parents busy making money and their children losing out on a good life.
I'm born in Mumbai and have made this my home. I have a lot of Maharashtrian friends as well. I understand the language perfectly.
I want to introduce people and my fans in Bihar to the Maharashtrian culture.
It would be great if I am offered a film with Sonakshi. I've watched her in 'Dabangg' nearly four to five times and I did SMS her about her performance.
Kolkata will always be special to me, for the simple reason that it played a crucial role in the way my career shaped up.
Shyam Benegal's 'Welcome to Sajjanpur,' 'Luck' and, of course, 'Raavan' changed things for me.
When people call me the Amitabh of the Bhojpuri experience, I feel my chest swell with pride.
I am a Gandhian and a big fan of late Rajiv Gandhi.
I have never allowed stardom to get to my head.
One person's comments can't bring down the entire Bhojpuri community or language!
I feel that every actor should do at least one movie with Tigmanshu Dhulia.
I am the man who has risen from rags to riches.
I love camera, make-up and everything about the industry.
The professionalism and everything is same in both the industries. The only difference between Bhojpuri cinema and Bollywood is budget.
