Actor

Bachchan is the luckiest man on earth. No one knows the nuance of the Hindi language or can incorporate elements from stage on to the Hindi cinema the way he does.

I've reached a stage and an age in my career where I need to do work that keeps me economically and emotionally comfortable. And for that I need to get into spaces that don't require me to make too many compromises with my beliefs as an an actor.

I got 'Jogger's Park' perhaps because one fellow Bengali Sachin Bhowmick, who's the writer of the movie, recommended my name. Then Ram Gopal Varma was kind enough to offer me a role in 'Bhoot.'

With age you tend to become intolerant and it becomes difficult to give your best in trying circumstances.

I had the most amazing childhood in the natural surroundings of Assam.

If you are not taught Tagore in school, your association is limited to reciting the National Anthem.

An actor must have the sincerity to what he is doing. So you can't take things lightly, you have to be serious every time.

I'm very proud of my performance in 'Bow Barracks Forever.' This was one of my most enjoyable experiences.

I'm a person who believes in rules.

It is pitiful working in the industry and I see the flaws all the time. Though, if I have to watch something, then I prefer either horror or comedy because I don't know how those genres really work.

'As The River Flows' is an important Assamese film with a message for everybody to ponder upon.

I never watch my own films.

I always like science fiction.

Really, I've had enough of fame. Now I just want money.

I don't market myself too well. I just get odd offers once in a while.

Bengali serials are far superior than their Mumbai counterparts.

One of the greatest attributes most Hindus have is acceptance.

I want to settle down in Mussorie. I'm in love with the Himalaya.

Street food has always made life and living in Calcutta so much more easy and attractive.

I loved Peter Sellers whenever he played an Indian.
