India always inspires me.

I moved to cricket at a time when I was at the peak of my career, and I can guarantee you that no one else from Bollywood would have done that.

It is very important to highlight the young talent of India.

I was given a talent to play cricket. I don't know why I was given it. But I was. I owe it to all those who wish it had been them to give of my best, every day.

I am undoubtedly a 100 percent Bollywood product, but my heart truly lies in making music for the world and taking India global.

I'm not just saying this, but I love everything about India.

I love India.

India has lot of talent. What I am happy with is that the talent keeps on coming. Certainly it could be nice, though I am not terribly keen on seeing my successor yet.

A Bollywood hero, for most people, has been a Raj, a Rahul or a Prem... it's now a part of the psyche.

I had the feeling I was going to be successful, and I didn't want to be another disappointing Indian.
