On the best way for a man to stop getting older (he’s just turned 43)!
“I don’t feel it. When I read 43, I feel it’s younger, I think I have made 43 look younger. Just don’t have any bad thoughts, be physically fit to play any game with your kids and yes, as I said, be kind to people around you. And believe that is the best stage to be in. I believe I can still do Raju ban gaya gentleman. I feel I am a new comer.”
On if Rakesh Roshan approached for Karan Arjun 2 with Salman!
“I don't think Mr Rakesh Roshan would make Karan Arjun 2. He would rather make a Krrish 3 with Hrithik Roshan. Now he has a bigger star at home. We are lesser stars. Anyways I think I am too old to play either Karan or Arjun. And I don't think Mr Roshan would be making it either.”
On Aamir's eight-pack abs and John's butt!
“I have lately only been noticing Deepika, Bipasha and other heroine's bodies and butts. I don't check out guys' butts or eight-packs. When I want to see a great butt or a six-pack I look at mine. I am glad they (Aamir and John) have great butts and abs. But I haven't gone down as deep as maybe you have. I feel shy looking at men.”
On a plan to make a movie on his and Gauri's love story!
Thank you for asking me this question. I think I have included parts of my life in many of my films. And now if I film my own love story my wife will leave me. It's not a great love story. But even though it might be an ordinary love story it seems extraordinary to us. I'd like to relate this to my upcoming film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. So no, I do not think I will make a film on my love story. As even if I did, I don't think Gauri would act in it.
She thinks I am not a good enough actor.
On whether his kids like his Rab Ne…look!
“My kids think I am very Kal, which I think means uncool. My son feels my pants could have been a little higher to make me look even more uncool. My kids saw the film. My daughter cried, she felt sad for what happens to me. So yes, they do like my look but I think they prefer the six-pack abs.”
On whether it’s true that film stars are being asked to slash prices!
“Well, I won’t have to slash my prices (sic). I don’t charge that much. I never discuss the prices with the producer and work if I like the film. I am just priceless. I just sign the contract in the end and people in the accounts department tell me, this much money I have at the end of the year. I have worked at 2.5 crore in Chak De to 6 crore in Om Shanti Om. If you want to further cut, I am ok. I don’t participate in profits of a film. Even (in) my own company, we have proper distribution rights and things work according to them.”
On being conferred with the Malaysian title Datuk!
“Thank you to the Melaka government for this prestigious award. I was so honoured to receive this award that was given by a country that does not even understand my language. It is an honour not only for me but also for all actors from India. I am very happy that I have found a big space in the hearts of people here.”
