I am a believer of all religions. I will happily visit a temple, mosque, church. I do not differentiate between religions.

I never argued with my father, and it so happened that, unfortunately, the same kind of relationship passed on with me and Ranbir.

There are ups and downs in every relationship. But that does not mean that couples should separate or get down to inhuman behaviour.

I don't know why all these actors think going to a gym or riding horses or learning how to fight are the steps to becoming an actor.

I am extremely malleable as an actor, but I also know how to get away with doing things the way I want, even if the director disagrees.

An actor's journey is never fulfilled. We always look for greener pastures, better roles, better creativity. We all want to do good work.

I have played all generations in reel and real life - grandson, son, father, and grandfather - and each relationship has taught me something.

I have campaigned only once in the elections, for Vinod Khanna in Gurdaspur, but that was not as a party member but because he is a colleague.

In our country, there must be two time zones to save working hours. Why we don't have it, I have been talking about this issue for a long time.

The R K banner has had this tradition to make good films, and good films always take a lot of time to complete because of the hassles involved.

It is an advantage to be born in Kapoor family and to be known by that name, but it also a burden because there are lots of expectations from you.

I am observing that to become an actor, people say, they want to join gym. Why join a gym? Why don't you join an institute where they teach you how to act?

If you want to show cinema, make entertainment films. Sometimes they are very good, sometimes very bad, but the intention is always to make entertaining films.

I don't want to play father roles. And I use father roles figuratively for roles that are just hanging around... don't want to be a piece of furniture in films.

There is no way one can remake 'Mughal-e-Azam.' What my grandfather did, we cannot even think of emulating. The film is a legend, and we should leave it at that.

If our Hindu culture forbids beef meat, does the same culture give you the right to abuse me and my family just because I have an opinion that you don't agree with?

Personally, I think that the story is all-important; everything else comes later. But if there's any other way to ensure the betterment of the film, I always implement it.

In the first 20 years of my acting life, I did not do any acting. All I did was to wear a jersey, dance, lip-sync to songs, and run after girls over mountains and in the snow.

My head was in the clouds after 'Bobby,' but my struggle had only begun because at the age of 21, I had become a hero. But then I had realized that I have to keep my feet on ground.

In acting, the basic tool is observation. Whenever you see something, you store it in your head, and when you come across a character that reminds you of that instance, you incorporate it.

I'm not interested in playing the villain as a loud caricature, one-dimensional character. I am trying to humanise evil. If you see my character in 'Aurangzeb,' I am not trying to act evil.

I really want that there should be love and respect between me and Ranbir, but at the same time, I want that there should be some kind of distance - that I can see you, but I can't feel you.

He is absolutely on his own, and we never interfere in any of his decisions. When Ranbir joined the industry, he told his mother that he wanted to portray characters which a boy of his age would do in real life.

I can never say that I don't want to work anymore. That would be an absolute lie because I enjoy, I take delight in, working in films because I feel it's an honour, you know, to entertain people, to regale audiences.

I know for a fact that many people repent and want to do away with their tattoos. It is all marketing and hype and nothing else. Also, tattoos stand out on fair and not wheatish complexion. God has given you a body. Why spoil it?

I don't think it is wrong when you - when an actor goes and sells his film. I mean, it's salesmanship; you got to tell the world what you have. You got to tell them, 'These are my wares; please see how do you like them. If you like to buy them, please buy them.' There's nothing wrong in that.
