Judi Dench, apart from the name and fame, is the most genuinely hilarious, sophisticated, and loving person I have known. And I mean all of that together at once. That's something.

Hollywood has got technology, method, and discipline.

I was doing theatre when somebody noticed me and referred me to Raju Hirani. And Raju saw me on camera, and there, I was a heavy guy with long hair. But I got selected for the role of Joy in '3 Idiots.'

Goa isn't just about tourism and happy faces.

My first preference is Bollywood and will always be.

I have always felt that just to show love, you don't have to make two people do intimate scenes. That is not the idea of 'I love you.'

Actors are dumb when they get insecure of their co-stars. A lot of actors do. When there is a good actor, they're like, 'Oh, he's eating up the part.' That's stupid.

I am a diehard romantic, and I shamelessly accept that. I love writing letters.

I return to the stage time and again to see if I am worth anything.

Movies have been great, but theatre is home. I've never been able to compare the two because they are different, special worlds. I'm just lucky to have a place in both.
