I feel that one of the hardest things in acting is the way you need to switch your emotions.

I am happy with all the films I’ve done. I have not become the victim of an image. I have managed to do different roles, and I am proud of that.

If I give five flops, I won’t get a job. You have to perform at the box office when you are at the top. No one is running a charity here. People are putting huge...

Anybody who has interacted with me will definitely find me to be a chirpy person.

If people are looking forward to my films, then I am happy, and I must be doing something right.

I like working on my birthday, so I always do.

In England or America, actors do not have to cater to an image. In India, it is almost demanded of us. Very seldom do you get a film where you can walk away from your...

Basketball is my favorite sport, and I’m also a very passionate football fan.

Indian weddings are elaborate. As a culture, we like to celebrate everything… Our weddings go on for sometimes a week, 10 days.

Just because I don’t show six-pack abs doesn’t mean that I don’t have them.

In the Indian film industry, especially those of us who are in mainstream cinema, we invariably play a typical hero’s role. More often than not, we cater to the public perception. However, there is a...

I think every school in the world should have a sports program.

My films are of paramount importance to me, the same as my family. That’s not going to change. This is a balance I have to strike throughout my life.

The best gift for an actor is the love of the fans. Many make sweet cards, write letters and even come and meet me wherever I am in India. The love and blessings of your...

The main objective of our cinema is to entertain. If you can pass on a message at the same time, that is fantastic, but if the audience does not feel they are going to be...

I’ve always basically done everything that’s been offered to me. I’m one of the few actors who enjoy working a lot.

A birthday is just another day where you go to work and people give you love. Age is just a state of mind, and you are as old as you think you are. You have...

The trade magazine and all was banned in my house. The first time I read a film magazine was when I was 18.

The joy and happiness it gives you or the emotions you go through when you hold your child in your arms for the first time are indescribable! I really thought that there was going be...

There is one common thing in superstars – enthusiasm and humility towards their work. Off sets, they are big stars for others, and they carry themselves the way they want to. When they are working,...

A successful film is a good film, and a non-successful film is a bad film. It’s as simple as that.

I don’t think your personal life has anything to do with your professional life. They are separate things. Whatever is happening at home shouldn’t be carried to work. Everyone has his/her own journey. Some revel...

Honestly, I wish I could be a part of all the remakes of my father’s films. But on second thought, I wouldn’t want to be a part of any. The thought of being compared to...

Honestly speaking, I don’t like my films. When I watch them, I see a lot of scope for improvement, so if I were to see any of my films, like ‘Dhoom,’ I might say… ‘It...

You can work really hard on your physicality, on your craft, on the films you do. You can choose the best of directors, the best of productions, get the best technicians, you can put your...

I’m an actor, paid to act. I don’t bring personal problems to the sets. Dad taught me that.

I have no hang-ups in life. I don’t care about groups and camps. I have been brought up with certain values and ethics. I have never been egoistic about my stardom and lineage. I don’t...

There are no free lunches in life. You have to earn it. I am paying my dues. People have accused me of having it easy because I am Amitabh Bachchan’s son. Yes, I am his...

I don’t believe in asking God for anything. If I am worthy, He will give it to me. I think we should earn his blessings; I have never believed in mannats.

You have to understand that you are not making the film for yourself; you’re making it for the audience. If I am asking my audiences to buy tickets, I owe them the worth of their...

My daughter is not an object to flash around or a prized item to put on display.

I am a sports enthusiast, and if given an opportunity, I want to be a sportsman, even today. I want to promote the sport that is indigenous to India. Kabaddi is a matter of national...

Every film for every actor is a make-or-break film. I believe every film has the power to break you or make you. So, an actor will treat every film like his last film. That’s the...

I’m not a model; hence I don’t see the reason to have a six-pack abs. I can pull off a tough and rugged look of a cop in ‘Dhoom’ series without taking my shirt off....

The only fear I have is that I will wake up one day and nobody will allow me to do films. This is a fear every actor has.

When I was in school, sport was given utmost importance. I think it’s fantastic for character building, for team playing, and I think it’s a great profile for a nation. One in every six people...

I really believe at the end of the day, regardless of how noble you are or how patriotic the film might be, it has to serve as entertainment in order for your audiences to come...

Movie-making is serious business. The director and the crew are already under a lot of pressure to give their best to the audience. Therefore, the best part for me as an actor is to act...

Every actor has his own identity. I don’t aspire to be Bond. My quest is to do something new, something different.

By the grace of God, my parents were fantastic. We were a very normal family, and we have had a very middle-class Indian upbringing. We were never made to realise who we were or that...

I still feel that in India we look upon sports as a recreational activity – which it is – but people have to understand that there is a career in sports. It’s not just necessary...

I think India is very passionate about films. It’s almost a second religion back home. Due to that, I think film stars are – are really held in great esteem. Not that we’re complaining, but...

I do films that I like. I have done comedy, romance, everything, and I always like to do it differently from the previous ones.

Critics have a job to do. They do not criticise you without reason.

I think it’s important for an actor to see the work they’ve done because every time you revisit a work you come up with a new way of improving it. It’s a good way to...

I am not one of those people who will ever be comfortable mocking or making caricatures of the stereotypes attached to any community.
