I have only seen movies of my generation - 'Mother India,' 'Shree 420,' 'Awaara.' Those days, we had actors such as Dilip Kumar, Ashok Kumar.
Artists like Mehmood, Dilip Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan are performers... they are born in centuries.
I idolised Dilip Kumar, I've seen all his movies, 30-40 times each.
I know and live with the real Dilip Kumar. He is a simple man, hard working, who has survived time.
I admired actors like Dilip Kumar and Om Puri as a kid and acting was all I ever thought about.
There are many brilliant actors, including our own Dilip Kumar, but Robert de Niro is something else.
I think one of the greatest advantages we had on the show growing up was being exposed to Mr. Cosby - being exposed to his work ethic, being exposed to how he handles the job of celebrity and living in the public eye... I think that all had a real significant impact.
Dilip Kumar was the only Bollywood hero who could make a girl shiver just by looking at her. If you don't believe it, ask your mom!
I do not believe in superstars. For me the only superstar has been Dilip Kumar and he will always be. I don't consider anybody after him as a superstar.
Dilip Kumar's a great, great actor.
One would marvel on the screen the way Shammi Kapoor walked, Dilip Kumar cried, or seeing Dev Anand's style. And then, one day, you are in the same space with them. It's very unreal.
Like Dilip Kumar, I've never run after money but only after good roles and that's why have always rebelled against those directors who wanted me to do buffoonery in the name of comedy.
We were to work in a film titled 'Zabardast'. Unfortunately, this film didn't take off. After this, I never got another chance to work with him, I regret not having worked with Dilip Kumar.
You can't appreciate home till you've left it, money till it's spent, your wife till she's joined a woman's club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town.
I started getting modelling assignments and that's how I became interested in acting. But my father, who last watched Dilip Kumar's ' Devdas,' wanted me to do MBA. I didn't listen to him and gave my audition for Yash Raj films' 'Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge' and got selected for it.
Obviously, having a wife and a daughter is a huge responsibility.
