I want to make Jaunpur a shooting hub of Bhojpuri cinema.

I am a person who can never pretend and manipulate - I am what you see me as.

I think I can strike a balance in politics and acting.

When I was eight, I would go crazy dancing in marriages. During Ganpati, I would dance on the street all night. I loved music and would be mad about dancing.

I connect with people, but after sometime I need to be on my own.

I feel scared of putting on weight or having a double chin as that might stop getting me work.

My name had been sent for the award for Best Supporting Actor in 'Tere Naam,' but I missed it.

Middleclass women in Bihar and UP love my antics. They find me very hot.

I love cinema like a madman.

If there can be Muslim and Christian countries, why can't there be a Hindu country?

The population of Hindus is 100 crore. So obviously India is a Hindu Rashtra.

I switched from 'Bigg Boss' to 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' and was very happy to see Amitabh Bachchan come back on television with such a fun and interesting show.

I love Kolkata by the night. It's a lovely place to be in and people around are so warm. The city has a special place in my heart and that's the reason why I love coming back.

I am a father to three daughters and I understand what they have to face everyday.

It's our responsibility as fathers to educate out boys to be sensitive and respectful towards women and not just curbing our girls' freedom.

BJP is a no-nonsense party and once the high command gives directions, it is followed through.

May all couples remain blessed and together forever.

People in Bengal know me because of my stint in 'Bigg Boss,' 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' and the Bollywood flicks.

When I first heard the script of 'Brishti Brishti,' I was really excited. The film will require me to break away from the typical Ravi Kishan mould. Getting under the skin of my character will be a big challenge.

I am from Banaras and I have seen several aghoris. They are mysterious and their way of life is quite intriguing.

Winning an award is always a special moment.

I am really blessed to have good people around me.

I have done many films and I do around 10 films a year in Bhojpuri industry. Running to different locations is time consuming. However, I can't take break from work.

I am very much inspired by the life of Modi ji.

In 2014, I heard Modi ji speak about toilets. For the first time, I saw a prime minister with such an outlook. I was impressed.

I want to make it clear that I don't have any competition with other Bhojpuri actors.

I can say that I'm a superstar now.

I have been doing Bhojpuri films since quite some time, have achieved stardom over there and have a huge fan following.

I don't have any problem playing second lead, or doing supporting roles. I am fine with it.

Bollywood is where I started from and learnt acting, whereas Bhojpuri cinema has got me superstardom. So, for me Bollywood is like a father and Bhojpuri cinema is my mother - there can't be a choice.

I was born in a temple to a priest father, in a place like Benaras. So, my upbringing has been influenced by such surroundings.

If we want our kids to learn about the true essence of life, we have to take time out of our busy schedule and teach them the values before it is too late.

Film festivals is a great way to display good cinema.

I am a Brahmin.

A criminal has no caste and is only a criminal.

Calling a criminal Brahmin is disrespect of the entire Brahmin community.

Brahmins never torment or trouble others and have been respected since ages for imparting knowledge and giving direction to society.

A random rumor that did a rounds about me was that I am an actor who throws tantrums on the sets and likes to be treated like a King. Which is false.

Nobody supported me when I was struggling. I have never been able to understand that. It is maybe because I come from a small village.

Life trained me as an actor that's why I'm so dangerous, even more than a live bomb.

I believe that sitting in a street and hearing the people talk, argue, console each other is one workshop every actor must attend on a regular basis.

I suffered initially because I think most of the people working in the industry only care about themselves. They are not interested in helping anyone as that may boomerang on them someday.

My decision to participate in 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' was purely for my daughter. I wanted her to be proud of me, and I know I have achieved it.

I wish every actor had fame like Salman Khan in the film fraternity.

Everybody has seen me as I am in 'Bigg Boss' and 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.'

People want to see me for at least two hours uninterrupted in a Hindi film.

I am a very dangerous actor.

I want to do one reality show every year. It goes with my personality.

The film industry has given me everything I have today.

I fractured my hand while shooting for 'Bullet Raja,' while we were shooting in Nashik.
