Personal Quotes (5)

" Every award I've been honoured with, be it the National Award or the Padma Shree, has been big, but this award (Dadasaheb Phalke award) is the biggest, officially"

"I never intended to be a director in the first place. I became one by default when during Shaheed, I had to direct the film unofficially. Then Lal Bahadur Shastri raised the slogan of Jai Jawan Jai Kisan. That is how I made Upkar. I give credit for my success to my parents. "

"I came to Mumbai with two targets. One was to be a hero, the other was to make 3 lakh rupees, 1 lakh each for my two parents and 1 lakh for my siblings. When I had left home in Delhi in 1956 to come to Mumbai to become a hero, my father gave me a letter. In that letter, he said, "My blood can never commit blunders, only mistakes". I made mistakes in my career. But not blunders. "

" I am not a greedy film person even as an actor. While my contemporaries Dharmendra and Shashi Kapoor acted in nearly 300 films each, I have done hardly 35 films in my entire career."

" I am not brooding about it. But when I read the interviews of actors whom I gave major breaks to and they do not even mention me, dukh to hota hai. "
