project on your anvil? Well, I am doing a film with Kabeer Kaushik who made Saher with Arshad Warsi. Man was born to be rich, or grow rich by use of his faculties, by the union of thought with nature. Property is an intellectual production. The game requires coolness, right reasoning, promptness, and patience in the players. Cultivated labor drives out brute labor.
It will be a very realistic issue-based film, a first for me. Kabeer is a very talented director. I In this world there are only two tragedies: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
play a character from Bihar who migrates to Mumbai. I can’t reveal any more.So you’re gravitating What is the use of this fuss about morality when the issue only involves a horse? The first and most difficult teaching of civilisation concerns man’s behaviour to his inferiors. Make humanity gentle or reasonable toward animals, and strife or injustice between human beings would speedily terminate.
towards a more realistic cinema? You know, Kabeer had come to me with Saher. I didn’t know what he The reward of suffering is experience.

that time Saher looked too similar to that Ajay Devgan film Ganga Jal. You suddenly seem to be back Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail.
in a big wayBefore Jhoom Baraabar Jhoom, I never had girls coming up to me to say I’m looking so Free will is a golden thread running through the frozen matrix of fixed events.

extraordinary. You never had so many releases in one year! Yes, three releases one after another and The thing women have got to learn is that nobody gives you power. You just take it.
many more to come. I never planned it that way. But when things start going wrong you either go the We live in a rainbow of chaos.

At late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in tomorrow for the clock may then be still.
another. I feel happy that people liked my work in Jhoom Barabar Jhoom Your dancing was quite April Rain It is not raining rain to me, It’s raining daffodils; In every dimpled drop I see Wild flowers on the hills. The clouds of gray engulf the day And overwhelm the town; It is not raining rain to me, It’s raining roses down. It is not raining rain to me, But fields of clover bloom, Where any buccaneering bee May find a bed and room. A health unto the happy! A fig for him who frets!— It is not raining rain to me, It’s raining violets.
something in Jhoom…. That was Vaibhavi’s doing. We Deols are so proud of her. When my brother was In all things there are three choices: Yes, No & no choice, except in this — I either choose the truth or I am deceitful.
making London Vaibhavi was the dance director. And then there was another film with me where Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts.
Aishwarya played the lead. Both the films got shelved. I’m telling you, Vaibhavi is the new Saroj We must carry things beyond conversation to conclusion.
Khan. Like Saroj, she doesn’t only give the actors the steps but she also makes the actor feel those Love is a many splintered thing.

But a lot of people don’t like your excessively long Oh, ever thus, from childhood’s hour, I ‘ve seen my fondest hopes decay; I never loved a tree or flower But ‘t was the first to fade away.

hair. I had it in some films. But I couldn’t get rid of it because of continuity. At the end of In the time that I have been acquainted with this region I have become increasingly aware of it as a testament of water, the origin and guide of its contours and gradients and of all the lives – the plants and small creatures, and the culture – that evolved here. That was always here to be seen, of course, and the recognition has forced itself, in one form or other, upon people in every part of the world who have been directly involved with the growing of living things. The gardener who ignores it is soon left with no garden.
the day there will always be people who like or dislike something you do. I’m trying for a different After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. KJV

stressed. That’s where I start going wrong. And it couldn’t go any more right for me than it did in THE KNOWN CHILD I wondered to what extent people remained the same as they’d been when very young; if one peeled back the layers of living one would come to the known child.

the Deol family? When you’ve your father standing in front of you, no words can express your By Heaven! it is a splendid sight to see For one who hath no friend, no brother there.
thoughts. I’m so glad we did Apne. I’ve never felt more relaxed in my life. This is the most There is little difference in people but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
wonderful period of my life. Did you enjoy doing your last release Naqaab? Yes I did. I had enjoyed When we are unable to find tranquillity within ourselves, it is useless to seek it elsewhere.
working with Akshoo in Humraaz. I enjoyed it again in Naqaab. He is what he is. No naqabs there. Why If a lunatic scribbles a jumble of mathematical symbols it does not follow that the writing means anything merely because to the inexpert eye it is indistinguishable from higher mathematics.
do you call him Akshoo? I’ve to differentiate between the two Akshays. Khanna is Akshoo and Akshay The pursuit of beauty is much more dangerous nonsense than the pursuit of truth or goodness, because it affords a stronger temptation to the ego.
Kumar is Akshay Bhaiyya. I don’t meet them every day. We meet only the sets. We don’t spend after By the deficiency or absence of one necessary constituent, all the others being present, the soil is rendered barren for all those crops to the life of which that one constituent is indispensable.

as producers. So yes, more home productions. We’ve burnt our fingers repeatedly as producers. Now Soft is the music that would charm forever; The flower of sweetest smell is shy and lowly.
we’re trying to get more organized. A sequel to Apne? I don’t think a sequel can happen. I don’t Attitudes are much more important than facts.
think we can get a script like Apne again. Now my Dad, brother and I want to do a comedy together. This life has been a test. If it had been an actual life, you would have received actual instructions on where to go and what to do.
But we need a great script. We’ve promised to make the audience laugh after making them cry in Apne. Now I see the secret of the making of the best persons. It is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
I knew Apne would work. A friend in Dubai called to say he hated me for making him cry. So is Apne Men over forty are no judges of a book written in a new spirit.
your favourite film? Apne and Dillagi, in which my brother directed me and himself. The only reason The feather, whence the pen Was shaped that traced the lives of these good men, Dropped from an angel’s wing.

coming up. It’s Sangeeth Sivan’s Ek. My co-star is Shreya Saran who I think is really good. She’s When I read great literature, great drama, speeches, or sermons, I feel that the human mind has not achieved anything greater than the ability to share feelings and thoughts through language.
such a good dancer. I’ll be doing another film with her. Ek is remake of a Telugu actioner featuring Surviving [life] is the whole point. Quitting it will not make you strong. Surviving it will!
Mahesh Babu. I haven’t done an action film for a long time , and that too an action film with The spirit is the true self.
stylized stunts . How does life look to you? Really hectic. Even Roshan is almost ready. It may Belief is in a sense passive, an agreement or acceptance only; faith is active and positive, embracing such reliance and confidence as will lead to works. Faith in Christ comprises belief in Him, combined with trust in Him. One cannot have faith without belief; yet he may believe and still lack faith. Faith is vivified, vitalized, living belief.
