I have a life beyond the camera. I like to travel. I need a breather between movies. And I don't think I can do that if I work on five films at the same time.
Mahesh has no time to do anything apart from shooting for his films. And any free time he has is family time. He doesn't even step out to meet friends.
It's an uncommon phenomenon, but Mahesh's popularity has never been dictated by the success of his films.
When you know the truth is on your side, when you have dutifully paid all your taxes, but you are still targeted for non-payment of dues, then what do you do? You grin and bear the harassment because you have nothing to hide.
When you have everything in life, sometimes kids don't learn what is right and what is wrong. Kids cannot get whatever they want.
On some days, I just want to sit under a shooting umbrella in a sunny outdoor location all over again.
The West is more organised, and they work according to a plan. That is one way of functioning, and I mean no disrespect to my country, because the way Bollywood functions works fine within our perimeters.
Women complain about not having enough 'me time.' All it requires is a little planning. Once you plan, organise, and prioritise your life, things fall in place.
Mahesh didn't want a working wife; he was clear about that. He wanted time given to him and, later, to the kids.
Most of my closest friends have come to visit me in Hyderabad. So I feel I'm always linked with Mumbai.
People believe Mahesh does what I ask him to. That's not true. He may look shy and gentle, but he knows his mind.
