Nobody is allowed to make money by defaming me. I may forgive, but I'll never forget.

I weighed 107 kilos when 'Sukh' was released. I had become like a South Indian comedian.

I am thankful to my audience, parents, and the media who have supported me over the years.

A woman is very sensitive and knows exactly when she is loved or not. Mere words don't work.

People liked my performances in 'Kill Dill' and 'Happy Ending,' but I was hardly there in them.

I am not worried about failure. I have made my career in this industry, so it does not scare me.

Each person creates boundaries and walls around the self - this often keeps even happiness at bay.

I've been learning martial arts - nothing specific, as then it becomes one-sided - but basic exercises.

I have my own ideas when it comes to making cinema. My films should be of my liking and suit my convictions.

I was such a mama's boy that no one imagined that I could come into the film line. She wanted me to do a bank job.

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.

I don't like it when people act extra-familiar and pretend that they are my best friends when they are actually not.

Jaipur is the hometown of my religious guruji. It has a special place in my heart, and I have been here several times.

I never planned my movies. I never selected subjects to win the National Award. I did films that made the masses happy.

I want to get rid of the image that I never turn up on time, because everyone always complains about this habit of mine.

If you know that you've given the right upbringing and knowledge to your children, you have already won half the battle.

I have many dear friends in the film industry, but finally, the roles come to me on merit, not because of personal equations.

I have worked with producers like Saif Ali Khan and Salman Khan, and there have never been any complaints about my late-comings.

As a producer, you want your product to reach the maximum people. That has become a system, and to work on it has become a necessity.

When a person thinks that you are not competent enough to do his film or work with him, one should not ask for work from that person.

When I saw 'Shola Aur Shabnam' and 'Aankhen,' I did not anticipate that they would become such hits. They looked like B-plus projects.

I feel like covering my children's eyes when they watch television. It's better that they spend their time doing something constructive.

I want to get away from my comic image. Not that I won't do any more comic roles, but I won't opt for the usual 'Govinda' type of comedies.

If you've been associated and successful with a particular kind of acting for so many years, then it's wise to continue in the same direction.

Romantic scenes are a part of Bollywood cinema, and if the script demands some kind of intimacy, I have no issues with my daughter doing those scenes.

I was told by many well-wishers not to do the film because my role was just a cameo. But it's very important to be part of big, successful films like 'Holiday.'

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.

From a very young age, my dad did not have work, so mummy would look after the house. She would go and sing bhajans and do thumri performances to support the house.

There are massive camps in Bollywood. I never belonged to any camps, but I think it was a wrong move. I should have had. It affects your career. It's one big family.

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.

I chose the Congress for its thoughts, its acceptance of people of all opinions, and its wide perspective. Another reason for joining the party was my family, which is attached to the Congress for a long period of time.

I tried working with the best of directors and producers. I tried being selective, but things didn't work out. Now, I am open to working with anybody and everybody who is good. Or I'll try to make it good. That suits me.

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.

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.

When I believed in astrology and numerology, people made fun of me, but today there are so many channels just dedicated to astrology and numerology. I now regret that I didn't start a channel on this. But then, I am happy in life. I don't dwell upon it.

When you join a political party, you are attaching yourself with an organisation of skilled people. And when you work with an organisation, your working capacity becomes double. One can perform better with the help of an organisation to implement their thoughts.
