Personal Quotes
I don't envy anyone's success. I don't have silly
insecurities. Maybe because I come from a secure
background. I've seen hits and flops all my life. What's
there to worry? I know I'm here stay.
I have fought with Rani and I have fought with Preity at
some point or the other but we have become better friends
after these fights.
It feels nice to hear how much my dad is loved even now.
And we as his children will always have to live in his
shadow. I feel no progeny can outdo their parents'
achievements, just like no fruit can grow bigger than the
trees that bears it
You invest so much love, trust, insecurities, doubt into
one relationship...why would I want to give this up?
Films aren't exactly the be-all and end-all of my life. I
am more of a family man and I prefer spending more time
with my wife Tanya, instead of doing the run-of-the-mill
stuff. |
