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. "
