I don't expect anything from anybody. When you grow old... Your days are gone; it is part of life.
From Om Puri
It is my first preference to do films with social significance. Art cinema has given me credibility and status as an actor, but commercial cinema has given me a comfortable living.
I was very sensitive to the environment around, and this disparity in people, seeing beggars and laborers not paid well, used to disturb me. So these emotions in these roles came very naturally to me.
I have no regrets at all. I have done quite well for myself. I didn't have a conventional face, but I have done well, and I am proud of it.
I prefer working in good cinema, wherever it is. I like subjects that have a universal appeal.
I had hoped when my life was chronicled, it would be an inspirational story.
Actors are just soldiers who follow commands.
What Bollywood lacks is scripts. A lot of the films are copies of western films.
When I was at school, I wanted to join the army. At college, I started acting in college plays, and it became a kind of addiction. I was very shy when I was at school, but the plays seemed to give voice to my feelings.
When Nandita expressed a desire to write about me, I couldn't stop her because she's my wife, but she has forgotten who she is.
