I was slightly disheartened when three of my films didn`t work at the box-office.But the silver lining is that people did appreciate my work in those films. Had my performance gone unnoticed, I would`ve been in big trouble then.
I have no inhibitions when it comes to showing off my physique, but appearing nude on screen is out of the question. I don`t need to resort to it and definitely not at this stage of my career.
My greatest strength as an actor is that I follow my director`s brief completely. The film is always the director`s visual baby.
I am happy with the way it turned out. We did a lot of publicity for the film and of course Sanjay Dutt and Sanjay Gupta made this film technically very sound. It was also critically acclaimed and it was liked by a certain audience. I did hear a lot about him, about his eccentric ways while shooting. But I had a fabulous time working with him. He is so professional at his work; he is a treat to work with.
They`re living in the past. That (arrest) happened three years ago. Nothing happened before that, and nothing happened after that. If they want to live with that situation, that`s fine with me. We had our differences, but I`m moving on.

That`s why I think it might be a little bit easier to say we can let this guy go.
In Canada `Water` has catered to an all-white audience. And they were completely taken aback. If I have to reach to a global audience I`d rather do it through a film on an Indian theme like `Water`.
I don`t have a problem being labeled a sex symbol though I personally don`t feel very sexy about myself. There`s no harm in my creating a niche for myself in a certain bracket.
The business part is over with. It`s time to get to the personal part, which is getting back with my teammates and getting ready for the season. For me, it`s more getting ready to play for the first game, not trying to hurt the team.

It`s not like I have to be the main guy. I`m just filling one of the pieces to the puzzle.
When you first came here, you wouldn`t talk to anybody but me. Now look at you.
