Though I come from Delhi, many other artistes like me attained success in Maharashtra.
Delhi has statues and busts of so many politicians. But what about our artistes?
There is a lot of discrimination between artistes from Kerala and from other states. Artistes from other states are paid more here. Once I told the ad guy that you won't be able to afford me next time. After that, I have neither done any ads nor has anyone approached me.
There was a place I visited in Lahore that felt to me like old Delhi, and I'm sure Pakistanis who come from Lahore to Delhi feel the same.
Despite its size and its long porous border with Nepal and increasing Naxal problems, U.P. had not been treated at par with the Congress-rules states like Delhi and Maharashtra in terms of funding for police modernisation.
I wish all our Telugu artistes get more opportunities in our films. Though talent has no boundaries, we should see that our artistes don't fade away.
There is no royal flower strewn path to success. And if there is, I have not found it, for whatever success I have attained has been the result of much hard work and many sleepless nights.
I have indeed - praise be to God - attained my desire in this world, which was to travel through the earth, and i have attained in this respect what no other person has attained to my knowledge.
I realise that a novel and a film are different mediums. As artistes, we need to respect other artistes. It also needs a lot of courage to take risks to experiment and interpret known literary works.
For me there is so many factors in football, that's why it's the greatest team game. There are so many things that lead into having success, just like when you have a ton of success and when you have no success, it's not just you.
You have to do your homework for everything. For 'Fukrey,' it seems like I'm just playing a Delhi boy. But he is a Delhi boy from Geeta Colony, which is a different world when it comes to Delhi.
Though I adored Delhi, Mumbai was in my veins and I felt connected to this city and had to come back.
I have grown up in Delhi in a way, and I keep coming here often. But, and I am sorry to say, I'll always be nervous when in Delhi. In my college days, I have had my bum pinched around so many times. So yes, in Mumbai, I can just walk around and do what I want to do, but in Delhi I'll always be scared.
Delhi is the capital of the country. People from all over the country come here for work. If anyone falls ill and is being denied treatment because the person does not belong to Delhi and the Delhi government does not provide treatment, then it is very unfortunate.
The motive behind a Delhi Film Council is simple - with so many filmmakers coming to Delhi to shoot their films, casting Delhi's young lads in their movies and even keeping the city as the base of their story, they surely need more collaboration in future. When they'll have such a council in the city, they will be able to work better.
The success of sainthood is the success attained by struggle and suffering and achieved by faith; a success of honor, of clean hands and pure heart, of service to man and glory to God.
Usually, I come for film promotions or events, but I have so many fond memories of Delhi.
