Film line is all about chance. I don't think much, I just like to take chances.

My fans know me and love me the way I am. I don't want to lie to my fans.

You can't expect a man to change in one day by watching a film, right?

The success of the film should depend on its budget.

You become megastars when superstars start reprising your roles.

West Bengal belongs to Bengalis. We should live here like a king and not as servants.

I'm not into politics. I have received offers to enter politics, but I have not been tempted so far. I can't say about the future.

It's no use just by shouting out that it is bad or it's good. If someone feels bad about something, they should go and support the reins themselves.

I'm not a person who wants to die with my shoes on. I do not think I can be immortal. Maybe my deeds will be immortal. Not me.

I would say the film world has stopped operating as one. We have divided it into Hindi movies, Bengali movies, Tamil movies and so on. Earlier, there was only one channel and we all knew what was going on. Today, it is hard to keep track of programmes due to the advent of regional channels.

Actors are born, good actors are trained. Dancers are born, good dancers are trained.

I would like to produce films, but I feel I am an unsuccessful producer. That's the fact.

Fathers always play mahagurus to their children, and I am no exception.

I am evergreen, and with every passing day, I am becoming younger.

My fans know me and love me the way I am. I don't want to lie to my fans.

'Dance India Dance' is family to me. I actually miss the madness whenever the season is not on air.

I have maintained a low profile throughout my career but have always done things in my own unique way, be it dancing or dressing up. On the dance floor, I had my own unique steps and often had to lead my choreographer.

Many Hindi films that are Tamil remakes rake in huge moolah in Bollywood.

My children know I would never call anyone to give my son or daughter a break.

My fan following is intact. They only like to see me in movies, which I am still doing for them. I do not need to do any long interviews or chat shows.

I like Hrithik Roshan and Shahid Kapoor. They are amazing and very hard working when it comes to dance.

People are often shy to acknowledge that they are Bengalis. They somehow take pride in saying that they cannot speak or read the language.

My son is a better dancer than me. I always try to encourage him in his endeavours.

I get emotional when young people get nostalgic about my work. That's why it's called nostalgia. Sometimes I even cry.

I'll campaign for anyone who's honest and who I like, irrespective of the party.

You become megastars when superstars start reprising your roles.

I came into the industry as an actor. And moved on to become a star with the help of my dancing skills.
