My grandfather died before I was born, so I never had the chance to speak with him about his father. But I learned about him from books.

Even before I really started, no one said I would make it. But I always had belief.

I was quite lucky: although my dad worked a lot, whenever he was free, he would play sports with me and my brother, and I can't wait to do that with my child.

I would've done anything to work with Satyajit Ray.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
