I don't claim to have led a saintly life. There have been a lot of one-sided love stories in my life.

'The Lunchbox' is the kind of cinema that is true to its word and not cluttered or corrupted by some of the mainstream pre-requisites. I love the way I make movies, but there are certain stories that need to be told in a certain way, and 'The Lunchbox' is that movie, and I'm so proud to present this movie.

I love stories, and my life is principally concentrated on stories, but not with a pretense of scientific precision.

Throughout my life, I have valued relationships far more than the professionalism.

I have invariably been in love when I haven't had the same reciprocated emotion at all. I don't choose to talk about my personal life because I believe that I don't want to, and I believe my personal life is personal.

I've been the lull, and I've been the storm and also somewhere in between. But that's OK. I love the limelight after all.
