SUNIEL SHETTY

Sports seemed an exciting medium to me.

I am blessed to have a family like mine. If you have a good family then nothing else really matters.

For me, people like Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn have set the fitness bar very, very high.

I feel that 'Rudraksh' is Mani Shankar's answer to Steven Spielberg.

Comedy is very difficult. You've got to have a perfect sense of timing.

As an actor, I don't want to talk too much about my future films because this industry is such that even after half a film has been complete, it can be shelved.

I am proud of both my kids, Athiya and Ahan. They are good and respectful towards their work and other people.

Wherever I go I bask in the glory of the compliments showered at me by everyone that I have a beautiful wife.

You may or may not like 'Baaz.' But you will definitely say I have done something different.

I want to do good films. I also want to be a whizkid in business.

I was born in Mangalore, where my nani lived, but was raised throughout in Mumbai.

Athiya breaks down very easily when it comes to health of the family, for instance the health of my father. For me, my daughter has always been very special.

I want to stay fit for my family.

Yeh Tera Ghar Yeh Mera Ghar' is a well made film.

I make sure that I spend quality time with my family.

Failures in film do not mean much to me because at the end of the day, I am successful in my life.

Every time I hear a revenge story, I run the opposite direction. I just don't think such stories have any novelty value.

I play Harsh Vardhan, a good cop. 'Baaz' is a thriller, in which you doubt every character. I loved the script, as it is very tight and exciting.

Critics can get you critical acclaim - nothing more than that. Success or failure depends on the public.

Fitness is basically a way of life for me. I enjoy being fit and because of that, there is a complete discipline in my family too.

I'm human. As human as any Indian. And every Pakistani is as human as every Indian.

It is very difficult for a South Indian to do well in Hindi films. But I have been very sincere and have put in a lot of hard work.

When the audience comes out of the theatre, they should remember your role and appreciate you for it. They should not forget you.

If kids remember me as a national hero, why would I mind? In fact, I'd give my right arm for that.

It matters a lot to me to be strong and fit.
