For me, people like Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn have set the fitness bar very, very high.

Critics can get you critical acclaim - nothing more than that. Success or failure depends on the public.

Wherever I go I bask in the glory of the compliments showered at me by everyone that I have a beautiful wife.

I am proud of both my kids, Athiya and Ahan. They are good and respectful towards their work and other people.

I have managed to stay fit all thanks to my habits. I train regularly and have maintained great fitness habits.

I think 'Main Hoon Na' is like the comeback of a Manmohan Desai film. Farah Khan made you laugh, cry and dance.

My son does enjoy my action films. But the women in my family would be happier if I did socially relevant films.

I am a very private person, so on my birthday too I will spend a cozy time with my family and a few close friends!

When we are growing up, we all have our dreams - and for me, I idolised the men of the Indian army, navy, air force.

I do binge once a week. Otherwise, I keep strict control over my diet. Unlike others, I don't stop eating once I start.

Every time I hear a revenge story, I run the opposite direction. I just don't think such stories have any novelty value.

I do want to live life king size, yes. But I also want to spend a lot on my children and give them happiness and security.

My dad lost his father when he was nine and ran away from home to come to Mumbai to feed his mother and his three siblings.

Working with a Hollywood unit was absolutely delightful. I felt like an actor. I was treated like one. I performed like one.

All junior artistes feel they will become like Amitabh Bachchan or Shah Rukh Khan. That is everyone's dream in the industry.

I face the camera every day as a student as there is a lot to learn. You become an actor when you put emphasis on smaller details.

Fitness is basically a way of life for me. I enjoy being fit and because of that, there is a complete discipline in my family too.

As a businessman, Sunil Shetty is dumb. His image as a 'businessman' is what his partners should have. They deserve all the credit.

It is very difficult for a South Indian to do well in Hindi films. But I have been very sincere and have put in a lot of hard work.

My parents had something to say about everything I did. As a kid, I thought they were against me. Now I realise they were mostly right.

If I were to become a politician and people from the opposition criticised me then I will not feel good. So, I stay away from these things.

I play Harsh Vardhan, a good cop. 'Baaz' is a thriller, in which you doubt every character. I loved the script, as it is very tight and exciting.

Kaante' will help the film industry. Very few films are like this one - pre-production in Europe, one-schedule shoot, well planned post-production.

Athiya breaks down very easily when it comes to health of the family, for instance the health of my father. For me, my daughter has always been very special.

I believe that when you have only one life, it makes sense to live it to the full - so whatever interesting and enterprising comes my way, I want to get into.

Producers do not seem to understand that they are cutting into each other's business. They complete their films at the same time and do not space their releases.

People wrote me off when I joined the industry, my looks were criticised, my acting was slammed, my films didn't do well. These things changed only slowly, and after a struggle.

A person with a robust personality appears capable of doing anything. This is what the common man lacks. This is the dividing factor, the difference between the hero and the common man.

I remember a few years ago, two of my films - Gulzar Saab's 'Hu tu tu' and Shakeel Noorani's 'Bade Dilwala' - were released simultaneously. 'Bade Dilwala' suffered although it was a good film.

As a child, I couldn't afford going to the gym, so I started doing pull-ups, push-ups, suryanamaskar, dand baithak and other forms of yoga. I also trained in martial arts and practiced freehand exercises.

I was very happy when my first movie was successful. That success paired with my trained body allowed me to believe and dream that I would be the next Amitabh Bachchan in the industry. Unfortunately, it remained a distant dream.

There was a phase when I cried for days and doubted my decision to be an actor when my films were not doing well. But soon I stood up and decided to do something that could set me apart. I decided to excel in what others didn't have, I focused on my actions and my fitness.
