--- Personal Quotes ---

"I follow Humanity. I follow Islam, Christianity, and follow the right thing as much I can. I have been
kind of blessed. Father is Pathan, mother is Hindu, second mother is Catholic, and brother-in-law is
Punjabi. Wife, I am thinking to bring from outside..."

"Why should I marry? One marries to have children, but I already have children! My nieces and nephews
are my children. I wanted to marry to make babies, but now I have them, so marriage isn't that
important, is it?"

"The only person I have hurt is myself."

"Sometimes it happens with me that I start laughing and just can't stop."

work."

person get bored of acting, I will stop and pursue my other interests. There is a lot to do: painting,
writing, direction."

"If you have an idea that seems worth doing, don't wait to hire other people and get funding and all
those things. Just start doing it, wait to see what happens, and then iterate on that."

"Sometimes I feel I hope I am not taking advantage of my stardom."

"I can get caught in many things but there is one thing I will never get caught in, and that is acting -
because I don't act. On screen I am like I am in real life."

"Dad's pathan, Mom's rajput, 2nd mom's christian, in school they asked me what religion: dad said
'Human'."

"A woman would want her man to be charming, lovable, and sweet. She would want flowers, chocolates
and candlelit dinners. But a lot of women today prefer to be practical and may not want their man to
present them with all those things. Oh do you know any woman like that? No, it’s not true. It’s all in
theory. In reality they love to have all of the above."

"I don’t have to impress a woman. If you try to impress a woman you are being the man you are not.

give it back. It's a difficult situation in which I am. It's a difficult position to be in. So far we have been
able to handle it."

"If I manage to maintain what I have achieved, that is more then enough for me. There was time when
I would go and ask for work but now I cannot do that. The day that happens I will not work. Times have
changed and if someone is not offering you work, it means they don't want to work with you."

"I am not getting paid as much. I am still negotiating with them. They are purposely givig me a
smaller figure so that other artistes don't demand fat fees too! (Laughs)"

"I like being with kids and definitely would love to be a father and I'm sure I will make good father but
can't promise if I can make a good husband."

"I love to connect with my fans. Like other Bollywood celebrities, I don't concentrate on vocabulary and
flowery language much as it leads one to deviate from the core topic. I write in a spoken language which
you could make be understandable. I personally read all the comments of my blog and also address
with the same sincerity. I'm enjoying blogging."

"I don’t get nervous before the release of films. I just pray that the hard work, which we put in, shows.
Mentally, you are the same, but you worry that you haven’t lost the plot or the character you have
played."

yourself."
