Quotes

  • Long flights, I like that. And a brand new country and culture - I live for that.
  • Dilip Kumar was the only Bollywood hero who could make a girl shiver just by looking at her. If you don't believe it, ask your mom!
  • [Are you obsessed with love?] Yes. Mere andar bahut pyaar hain. It gets reflected through my films, I guess.
  • Love Aaj Kal is not really a road movie, but it does involve some travel. It's strange really because I discovered some of myself from the films that I make. I think I am a travel junkie and I have never enjoyed anything else in my life more than travelling and going to places. And I am not talking necessarily about going to exotic places. I'd be happy to go to Ghatkopar you know. So I can never have enough of travel and that finds a way of coming into my films somehow.
