“Every actor has his own identity. I don't aspire to be Bond. My quest is to do something new, something different.”
“I do films that I like. I have done comedy, romance, everything, and I always like to do it differently from the previous ones.”
“I feel that one of the hardest things in acting is the way you need to switch your emotions.”
“I'm an actor, paid to act. I don't bring personal problems to the sets. Dad taught me that.”
“The only fear I have is that I will wake up one day and nobody will allow me to do films. This is a fear every actor has.”
“There are no free lunches in life. You have to earn it. I am paying my dues. People have accused me of having it easy because I am Amitabh Bachchan's son. Yes, I am his son, and I've never run away from it. I work hard to make him proud.”
“Honestly, I wish I could be a part of all the remakes of my father's films. But on second thought, I wouldn't want to be a part of any. The thought of being compared to him is unnerving. I'd rather do my films than live in the fear of living up to his standards.”
“I still feel that in India we look upon sports as a recreational activity - which it is - but people have to understand that there is a career in sports. It's not just necessary to be a doctor or a lawyer or an engineer, as most of us Indians appear to think that our children should grow up to be.”
“In the Indian film industry, especially those of us who are in mainstream cinema, we invariably play a typical hero's role. More often than not, we cater to the public perception. However, there is a latent desire in most actors to do a role where you can go all out and experiment.”
“Movie-making is serious business. The director and the crew are already under a lot of pressure to give their best to the audience. Therefore, the best part for me as an actor is to act well in the movies and make a jolly atmosphere with the co-stars on the sets.”
