My return to acting with Insaaf and Satyamev Jayate was well received. My rapport was the maximum with Dimple Kapadia.
I never ask for a script when it comes to Subhash Ghai. I just do whatever he asks me to.
Karzzz is my way' of paying homage to the mesmerising cinema of '80s, to Subhash Ghai's revered cult film 'Karz.'
Anupam and I started as friends. I remember, every time I went through rough times, emotionally rough times, Anupam would always be there. In fact, Anupam had this strange quality of pulling me out of depression and making me feel much better.
I have always admired Mr. Naseeruddin Shah, Mr. Anupam Kher, the late Om Puri ji, and Amitabh Bachchan.
Working with Subhash Ghai is always a different experience. Subhashji is my mentor. I'm always glad to work with him.
Both Ram Gopal Varma and Subhash Ghai are great directors and it was a great experience working with them.
In Jaipur, I did almost everything from regional theatre to Shakespeare's plays. But when I shifted to Mumbai, I joined Anupam Kher's academy, Actor Prepares,to hone my acting skills.
My career says that my doors will always be open for all. When an Anupam Kher walked in through my door at 28 and got 'Saaransh,' it launched his unimaginably productive career.
I've always worked with new directors. 'Pyar Koi Khel Nahin' with Sunny Deol, Anupam Kher's debut film 'Om Jai Jagdish,' and Niraj Vohra's 'Khiladi' were all first-time films.
I was bullied by Subhash Ghai. He even took me to the court and wanted me to cancel my first show. It was quite stressful. He sent a message to all the producers that nobody should work with me.
In an industry where actors are known to steal scenes and roles from under your nose Sohail bhai has been going out of his way to be good to me. It's true he got me Subhash Ghai's 'Paying Guest.' The role was offered to Sohail bhai. When he couldn't do it, he recommended me.
My friends asked me to be a reverend at their wedding in France a few years ago. I went on the Internet, and within 15 seconds, I was printing out a certificate which allowed me to officiate at their wedding.
I don't think Indian actors are good. A couple of them are, like Anupam Kher, but not many are there like him in the industry. There are thousand of actors and actresses in the industry, but you can count on hand how many of them are really good; the rest of them are just pretty faces.
Larry is back in town...The wedding is set for October. Tammy is threatening to have me in the wedding. Some friends they are.
When I was little, I watched a lot of Disney movies - so I always imagined a big fairytale wedding as a kid. But when marriage became real, I felt an intimate wedding with close family and friends would be better.
