Picture abhi baki hai mere dost

I love you KKK ... Kiran
Mohabbat mein shartein nahin hoti ... toh afsoos bhi nahin hona chahiye
Meaning:
There are no conditions in love ... hence there should be no repenting
Bomb
se zyada zakhm toh zindagi deti hai ... har mod par koi dhokha, koi
dard ... toh jab zindagi ke khatron se bachne ke liye koi bomb suit
nahin pehanta ... toh maut se bachne ke liye kya pehanna
Meaning:
Life
gives more wounds than a bomb ... on every turn there is betrayal, pain
... now since no one wears a bomb suit to protect from the dangers of
life ... then why should one wear it to protect from death
Yadhaash
bhi kitni ajeeb cheez hoti hai ... kis cheez ko puri zindagi bhulne ki
koshish karo, woh bhulti nahin ... kabhi ek choti si cheez yaad karne ki
koshish karo, toh yaad nahin aati
Meaning:
Memory
is such a strange thing ... when you try to forget a thing your whole
life, you can't forget it ... and when you try to remember a small
thing, you can't remember that
Kaun kambakht bardaasht karne ko peeta hai ... hum toh peete hai ki
yahan par baith sake, tumhe dekh sake, tumhe bardaasht kar sake

Main
aaj bhi usse utni hi mohabbat karta hoon ... aur isliye nahin ki koi

nahin milti

Life kills you everyday ... a bomb will kill you just once Duniya

mohabbatein

There
is so much hatred in the world ... but still there is love in the heart
... even if the people you love die, and your friends disappear ...
their love always remains alive
(December 2001, about Hrithik Roshan ): I wish I looked as good as he does. And I wish I danced as well as he does!
Yes,
I do have a close circle of friends and I am very fortunate to have
them as friends. I feel very close to them I think friends are
everything in life after your family. You come across lots of people all
the time but you only make very few friends and you have to be true to
them otherwise what's the point in life?
I'd rather sink trying to be different, than stay afloat like everyone else.
I
cannot repay my fans for what they have done for me, they have given me
so much love and that love has taken me to the number 1 position where I
am today, the only thing I can do for my fans is to never stop working,
and to do films till the very end, it is the only way I can express my
love for them.
To me, Devdas is the end of love stories. I've
portrayed an obsessed lover, a nice lover, an angry lover, a romantic
lover. And now I've played Devdas. For someone who doesn't even like
love stories, I've played an awful lot of lovers. Personally speaking, I
wouldn't see any of the romantic films I've acted in.
I'm the
luckiest man in the world and I don't want to hide from the faces I'm
acting for. So I don't surround myself with guards, I've never given an
interview in which I've said I feel bad that I can't go shopping or I
can't go to Chowpatty and eat bhelpuri without being mobbed. I'm not the
kind of guy who goes out wearing dark glasses (I don't think I'm a big
enough star to hide behind them, honest). I go to see movies in the
cinema theatres, I go to restaurants with my family and friends even
though I know people are going to disturb me there.
God has become
a generic term like 'mind blowing.' It is embarrassing. I would have
said that to Amitabh Bachchan, Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar. I used to
tell them I want to stand in the same space as you. I've told Kamal
Haasan and Rajesh Khanna
Saab, I just want to touch you. They are the gods of acting. When
people call me God, I say, no, I'm still an angel or saint of acting. I
still have a long way to go. Though I cannot ever surpass these legends I
would like to be next to them.
(August 2004): Awards that ignore me are losers.
(August 2004): I'm try-sexual. I try anything that's sexual.
(August
2004): I have no competition. Every year the names I'm pitted against
keep changing. You can't cream the competition, you have to kill it.
I
keep hearing that our films are escapist and unreal but I find our
films the most real in the world. We don't have people going up in a
rocket and single-handedly blowing up a meteor. We don't have a
president on Air Force One saving the world or things coming out of
people's stomachs. Our fantasies and escapism are real. It's just people
singing and dancing in the street. If England had won the World Cup you
would have seen people singing and dancing like that.
I don't
like wearing dark glasses. I'm happy with the fact that people know me. I
want people to scream and shout at me, I want people to trouble me when
I'm having lunch, I like six bodyguards around me. I love being a star.
I find it very strange when people who are famous say they don't want
to be photographed. I don't want to be photographed first thing in the
morning, I don't want people peeping into my bedroom, but besides that,
it's a wonderful life.
"I haven't given up smoking. I'm very clear
about it, it's a personal choice. I want to cut down on it. It
shouldn't be made into an issue to say, damn good or damn bad. Whether I
give it up or not shouldn't be an issue." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
"I was supposed to have done Rang De Basanti
(2006), the guy on the motorbike. I didn't have the dates. They were
shooting in Delhi and the dates were clashing with Paheli." (Movie Mag,
May 2006)
"It's not like Steven Spielberg is waiting with a script
for me. I don't think I'll ever be offered a great international film
in my lifetime, so I'd rather be a king here. Moreover, Indian cinema is
the greatest in the world. But of course, after spending three months
in LA, London, and New York I found that our cinema is a little
exaggerated. To make a mark in the West we have to reach their level
without losing our identity, culture or songs. I don't want to star in a
Hollywood film, but want to make a film that crosses over universally."
(Movie Mag, May 2006)
On trying to get Paheli (2005) an Oscar
nomination: "There's a misreport here about our lobbying at the Oscars.
The understanding that we have of the Oscars is very different from how
it really is. Because Indian film, foreign films are not known, you're
supposed to hire a PR company which we did. It's not as if you just go
there, show your films, lobby and talk to them. You're not allowed to
lobby as in you're not allowed to meet the Academy members, talk to them
or even make a call to them. You just keep advertising in the 'For
Consideration For Oscars' category. We took out full page ads in papers
like Variety and Hollywood Reporter. The only good thing we did was that
we advertised very frequently, it was promoted on the same scale as the
biggest of films. We did it because we could afford it." (Movie Mag,
May 2006)
"I felt Ashoka the Great
(2001) should have been chosen for the Oscars. We had worked towards
that. We had these international distributors for it. We were the first
to actually release an Indian film internationally in traditionally
non-Indian theaters. We spent a lot of money and lost a lot of money
too. We were the first to put up boardings in London, in tube stations.
We did speak to everyone who was anyone here, wondering if Asoka could
go to the Oscars. But the one that got chosen was Lagaan: Once upon a Time in India
(2001) which was even better. So we had no complaints. After that I
didn't make any film for the foreign market." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
You
must respect your seniors, bu never get intimidated by them. Winning
should be a habit, not an option. The four Hs are important when you
play to win --- honesty, humor, hard work and a bit of haraamipan.
I
don't look at the figures that my movies make. The only figures I look
at are girl's figures. (When asked to comment on what he felt about the
figures his movies gross.)
Whenever I fail as a father or husband... a toy and a diamond always works.
If I talk to a girl, it's assumed that I'm having a scene with her. If I don't, then it's assumed that I'm gay.
I don't kiss on screen. Period.
There are only two Khans. Ghenghis Khan and Shahrukh Khan.
Sex is not required to sell my film. My name is enough.
You never win the silver, you only lose the gold.
I
am very shy. If I am flying British Airways and the air hostess asks me
two questions, and I don't understand her accent - I will go hungry for
the entire flight.
The dream I chased, took me on a journey. A
journey more rewarding then the goals, the achievements. When I look
back it's like facing a million mirrors. Each reflection opens a window.
A window to the world I've just discovered. The world I want to share
with all of you.
If I am a role model, I must be the worst one in the world.
I've never had a girl make a pass at me.
Togetherness, passion, laughter, faith, trust and jealousy are the essential ingredients of love.
The collar-bone is my favorite part of the human body.
If asking me whether sleeping with X or Y gives the media pleasure, then so be it. It's a small price to pay.
I
don't think I would have become an actor if Kajol wasn't a part of my
films and life. And I don't think I would have continued acting if Rani
wasn't a part of films either. I think perhaps in seventeen years they
sum up my career as the most beautiful career.
Rani has looked her
career best in Paheli. For myself, Aziz and Juhi, Rani is the only
leading lady for our production house. She is the best actress we have
had in I'd say the last 16 years!
[Speaking to Rani Mukerji on a
talk show] I've known from the time you started. I'm very fond of you...
I love you! We've done different kinds of roles together. Chalte Chalte
I think was very interesting. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was interesting
because you'd just started out... Its wonderful to see you evolve as an
actor over the years and personally I do believe that Rani Mukerji is
the best actress in the country in the last 16 years. I think she's
absolutely wonderful!
[In the making of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai] I've
worked with a few new comers [Mahima Choudary, Preity Zinta, Rani
Mukerji] recently and Rani is the best of the lot. She lights up the
screen with her appearance, she's very very beautiful and extremely
talented, it was a pleasure working with her.
