I was very sensitive to the environment around, and this disparity in people, seeing beggars and laborers not paid well, used to disturb me. So these emotions in these roles came very naturally to me.

In western countries, there are roles written for older actors. Films are made on them, including love stories.

I have no regrets at all. I have done quite well for myself. I didn't have a conventional face, but I have done well, and I am proud of it.

As a young man, I was very introverted and quiet, but with a lot of intensity and feelings.

When Nandita expressed a desire to write about me, I couldn't stop her because she's my wife, but she has forgotten who she is.

The fact is I like Mumbai less and less. My son says, 'Baba, let's go for a drive', and I tell him, 'Where's the fun of a drive in this place?' You get caught in a million traffic jams, and you spend time cooped in your car with all that mad cacophony around you.
