In September 2006, just a few months before his death, he explained his
acting career: "I never tried making a comeback, I never tried to lobby
for roles. I never believed in being a part of the industry politics.
It was always my choice to accept or reject roles. Even today I'm
offered roles in A-grade movies and TV serials. But I don't want to do
roles which don't suit my age or portray me in an immoral and
disgraceful manner - especially in those sleaze flicks which are
disrespectful of women. I don't mind roles with negative shades,
playing the sadistic villain or a betrayer. In fact, I love them."
