Quote

India has been a very accepting culture. We pride ourselves on that. That is a global truth. In fact, it forms a major theme in my books.

Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.

We don't have a culture of realistic acting in India.

Dialogue is the basis of Indian culture, and we don't want to make any enemies. Political and ideological adversaries, perhaps, but not enemies.

Culture is something that we all share, and we are all the poorer for anyone excluded from it.

Culture is the intersection of people and life itself. It's how we deal with life, love, death, birth, disappointment... all of that is expressed in culture.

I don't think people give Indian society enough credit. We may not like to talk much about things but we do, basically, want to live and let live.

Movies are a big part of our Indian culture.

I don't think culture is something you can describe.

Therefore reinforcing a stereotype, therefore thinking that the entire Indian culture is just made of people that are against their children's decisions.
