A relationship will be futile if it's based just on physicality. Intellectual stimulation is a must for me.

It's silly to have a prototype, because one inevitably falls for someone unexpected. My only criterion is she shouldn't just look nice; she must have a personality, too.

Success demands sacrifices. I believe it's a small price to pay for the adulation and love one receives.

I want all my films to do well.

Who would say no to a film like 'Gunday?'

I signed 'Aurangzeb' because I loved the story. I thought it was an untold tale. For whatever reason, the audience did not like the film. Fair enough, but I still enjoyed the process.

If I feel insecure, then I am in the wrong profession. I have to trust my director and the material he has given me.

I have made my mistakes my strengths instead of looking at whose fault it is.

My first film, 'Ishaqzaade,' did well, and I got four damn good films because of it.

The flop that hit me was 'Tevar.' It felt like someone knocked the wind out of me. When you do a home production, it always hurts more. I wasn't ready to accept that 'Tevar' didn't do well.
