Quotes

Every individual suffers from the fear of failure, but you can change your destiny only when you overcome it.

Success is boring. . . failure is exciting and more entertaining.

I am aware that as an actor, I can blame others for the failure of a film, the director, the script, choice of co-stars, timing of the release and so on. But now, as the director, I will have to shoulder all the blame.

You may be in a medical or engineering college, but not all will stand first in class. It depends on who studies the most.
