If I was not serious about politics, I would not have left behind my successful career to become a politician.

UP has such beautiful locations and such ease of shooting.

I have big plans for UP as far as its film policy is concerned.

For a star like me to take a dance show and perform in front of the whole world was not a cake walk.

I have worked with acclaimed filmmakers like Shyam Benegal, Mani Ratnam, Anurag Kashyap and Tigmanshu Dhulia.

I give respect to everyone and they return the same.

I fractured my hand while shooting for 'Bullet Raja,' while we were shooting in Nashik.

The film industry has given me everything I have today.

I want to do one reality show every year. It goes with my personality.

I am a very dangerous actor.

People want to see me for at least two hours uninterrupted in a Hindi film.

Everybody has seen me as I am in 'Bigg Boss' and 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.'

I wish every actor had fame like Salman Khan in the film fraternity.

My decision to participate in 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' was purely for my daughter. I wanted her to be proud of me, and I know I have achieved it.

I suffered initially because I think most of the people working in the industry only care about themselves. They are not interested in helping anyone as that may boomerang on them someday.

I believe that sitting in a street and hearing the people talk, argue, console each other is one workshop every actor must attend on a regular basis.

Life trained me as an actor that's why I'm so dangerous, even more than a live bomb.

Nobody supported me when I was struggling. I have never been able to understand that. It is maybe because I come from a small village.

A random rumor that did a rounds about me was that I am an actor who throws tantrums on the sets and likes to be treated like a King. Which is false.

Brahmins never torment or trouble others and have been respected since ages for imparting knowledge and giving direction to society.

Calling a criminal Brahmin is disrespect of the entire Brahmin community.

A criminal has no caste and is only a criminal.

I am a Brahmin.

Film festivals is a great way to display good cinema.
