It's horrible when actors say that they are apolitical.

As an actor, your job is half done when your co-star becomes your friend, especially when it's Judi Dench.

Hollywood has realised that we do have actors and are not just mad about song and dance.

I got a chance to work with Judi Dench in almost every scene. How many Indian actors get that chance?

My grandfather was a civil servant. He was honest, so it would be unfair to say we enjoyed the perils of richness.

I think the larger productions in India are very methodical and pretty much on the ball in terms of work. When I say work, I mean pre-production and the homework that's required.
