We don't have a culture of realistic acting in India.
I have an appreciation for what some people would call "bad acting," but which I think can be much more real than the overly emotive, technical and supposedly "realistic" acting that is so prevalent in mainstream cinema.
It is not realistic, maybe ... but art doesn't have to be realistic. Romeo and Juliet is not realistic, but it is true... it shows the essence of falling in love.
Our culture in India is not a culture where we grudge each other.
Stylized acting and direction is to realistic acting and direction as poetry is to prose.
India brings out so many different feelings in me. I've been fascinated with India and Indian culture as long as I can remember - ever since the '60s with the Beatles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Real acting is realistic no matter what the medium.
There is not much awareness about fitness in India, unlike other countries. We don't get too many medals at Olympics; one of the reasons is we don't have that culture of fitness in India. That is why we decided to start this chain of gyms under my name.
In general, I find that for videos the acting is more realistic.
I am very bullish on India because of its people, its culture, and the leadership. I love the culture and warmth of people.
As my parents are from India, I am told a lot of positive things about the country, the culture and traditions of Muslims in India. I don't remember anything nasty told to me by my parents.
I love acting, especially if it's a fantasy of some kind, where it's not just realistic, it's not naturalism.
I like method actors who don't focus on the glamorous side, but on realistic acting.
I have never been to India and I am not a specialist on Indian culture, and I would not wish to be heard to be taking swipes at a culture which I've never experienced and where I've never lived.
