The Ladakhis, as a people, are quite laidback.

'Haqeeqat' was a good war drama.

'Lakshya' is a different genre of movie. While 'Dil Chahta Hai' could be categorised as a romantic comedy, this is a war drama.

I think it is important to play a sport. Apart from the joy of it, it helps keep you fit.

Being healthy is not just about building a body: it is a lifestyle that manifests itself in your general outlook. It makes you more positive and optimistic and increases your energy level.

To me, action has to come from the plot.

To me 'Qurbani' was a good action film - it was fast, had one plot, and moved along at a pace, and it didn't really divert attention.

I feel with 'Don 2' I got an opportunity to do a very good action with the kind of pace that I would like an action film to have.

I like to stay within the zone of one character. It would disturb me to break away and go into an entirely different territory.

If I don't work out, I lose weight instead of gaining it.

I take a more holistic approach to fitness than trying to achieve a certain body to display.

When not working, my days are lazy.

Most Hindi movies tend to dramatise events. They are very dialogue heavy. Characters don't speak like people normally do in real life.

Amitabh Bachchan was the coolest character in every movie.

From being in a film and shooting to just being in a studio with my guitar and musicians was a welcome change.

When you go to a film set, of course you're going to do your job, and you're excited about being there, but you somehow feel fatigued that you are just doing this day in and day out.

I guess just enjoying what you do and always wanting more of that enjoyment, satisfaction, and putting something together creatively - that gives me a lot of happiness.

'Dil Chahta Hai' is not the first film about friendship. 'Lakshya' is not the first film about war and coming of age.

I am not trained to be a director or an actor. I have learnt everything by watching other people work and studying their work.

When I made my debut as an actor in 'Rock On!' I was confident to get in front of the camera.

As an actor, I am extremely fortunate to portray Milkha Singh on the big screen.

People want a certain amount of respect when they watch a film: it should be worth of their time.

Even within escapist cinema, if you find a good story to tell, it will do well.

Cinema, I always felt, is a very powerful mass medium to translate ideas in an engaging way.
