About him Trishala his daughter says "I have a very strong relationship with him.
Most people think he and I aren’t very close but they’re wrong. Just because I don’t
see him everyday doesn’t mean me and him aren’t close."

Past time 'I use work as a therapy. I go to the gym. I go out with friends, or just sit
with my family - an occasional dinner.'

Doing romantic scenes I’ve adjusted to doing romantic scene, which I was
uncomfortable doing before. I’ve also tackled the situation of dancing on stage. I
believe that I do better now. I’m more eased and open in acting terms. I’ve earned
words of appreciation for the change. I’m doing good works and also good banner
films are coming to me.”

Ambition 'I just want to continue working on projects as satisfying as Munnabhai.'
