One of the biggest lessons I've learnt is patience. It's critical when raising a child.

In many households today, the woman is also a bread winner and with this financial independence comes the power of making choices.

I was nominated as one of the most promising entrepreneurs by a business magazine a long time back. I worked in Telco way back in 1993 and then started my leather business.

If you look around, 90 percent of marriages are cliches - people aren't genuinely happy even if they look happy together.

It's fantastic to be associated with television.

I can't be the villain that I play in the movies.

Everyone starts from a raw stage at some point of time.

A film career is a natural progression for any model and i'm sure this trend will continue.

I was the first guy from a modelling background to successfully venture into films.

As an actor, I belong to a strange slot, where you may have all sorts of roles in your kitty.

As parents, it's easy to not give the child enough credit and not spend enough time together.

To be successful in Bollywood, one needs a certain body type.

At a time when you do not know what chemicals are being fed into plants, there's no way you would know how toxic animals are. So, I'd stick to vegetarian fare.

My basic food mantra is small portions, no water during the meal and the capacity to say no to an extra helping if it's not required.

When I look at character artistes, they begin after 40. For instance, Boman Irani took up his first film after he was 40. Since I too, am in my 40s, I think I am finally getting to be in my zone.

If we think about physical strength and that women lack in it, we must understand that in a tough situation, mental strength is more important than physical power. So, women are equally strong for combat roles.

I have a sweet tooth and I gorge into lots of chocolates. I just love them. I have a liking for coffee too.

I don't believe in being loud. I find that stupid. Understated things work much better.

The sun is the supreme life source and I receive all my good vibrations from it.

I'm not a great father and there have been many occasions, when I fall short, but I'm genuinely trying.

I am an introvert.

I am open to doing cinema as long as I find the script right.

I believe that destiny has a big role to play in everyone's life.

Chennai is certainly not a fashion place, though I hear it's picking up.
