Actor

I was concerned about the viewers' acceptance. But people have found a comic slant in me, which I was never aware of.

I can bring some of my life experiences as I act, but it may not work vice versa.

I am a totally private person. I don't go to Bollywood parties.

Online entertainment is easy. You can't carry a TV set in your pocket, and everyone can't afford cinema tickets every week as they are expensive.

I have tried making the roles that I have played in my career look different with my attitude, diction or my beahviour.

The satisfaction that one gets from entertaining live audiences has a different feel.

Nobody wants to be a laughing stock.

I haven't watched any shows online but I know that the content is not crippled by censorship and is much more experimental.

I have shielded myself against the volley of jokes that I have been made the subject of.

I have played father to people who were older than me.

What you mean by freedom of speech? Democracy doesn't mean you abuse your country. Sedition has a law in the constitution. You can't give speeches against your country.

People find it odd when an older person talks about sex. Instead, it is accepted from a younger person. Having said that, I do feel awkward talking about such topics.

I could've made more of an effort to go back to theatre but I fell into the trap of recognition, fame and money.

Do whatever you want, but you can't be wrong towards your own country.

The only thing that I find repetitive is the number of marriages I have arranged in films. That is one thing I stay away from in real life.

When I was younger I did some pretty wild things with the limited options I had.

'Sinskari' is an adult chat show, which will include questions about their deep dark secrets. Some dialogues may have to be beeped out.

Nowadays so many things are happening all over the place. I'd sound really like a regressive babuji if I say stuff like the institution of marriage is crumbling.

It's too late in life to reinvent myself. I am just repackaging myself now.

I am absolutely okay with jokes on me now, but initially, yes, I was perturbed ki why me? I am not a personality on whom jokes are made randomly. Later, I was like, if everyone is enjoying jokes on me, even I should laugh it off instead of opposing them.
