TV is a good medium to reach people.

To me, big roles are not required to showcase talent.

One scene is enough for a good actor to leave his mark in any film.

It hardly matters for me whether the role is comic or a serious one.

I've always played negative roles because I think I'm better suited for them.

Stars can never replace strong character actors in roles that demand histrionics.

I jumped from a height of 45 feet and though I landed on the boxes. I broke my leg.

I learnt a thing or two about acting from theatre actor Robin Das who is from Odisha.

I have done regional films before. They have a different flavour and promising future.

For me, what is more important is the challenge the character poses for me as an actor.

I am not after any award. Love and affection of the audience is the biggest award for me.

I enjoy working with Prakash Jha. An actor prospers if he or she gets a chance to work with him.

Post-'Gangaajal,' I changed my way of functioning, choosing my roles carefully and mixing them up.

I usually get a lot of compliments from people as they can't believe I'm the same person when they meet me.

Regional films have a great impact on the audience, especially because of the proximity of the language with the people.

I have been nominated five times for the Filmfare Award but for some unknown reasons I failed to win the award even once.

I don't know about anyone else, but I got really scared looking at myself in the mirror when I got my hair cut for a role.

The story of 'Lalpan Bibi' impressed me and my character also. It has all the ingredients of a great commercial masala movie.

The children in my building don't know my real name! They are so fascinated with my 'Wasooli' look that they call me Wasooli Uncle.

I started my journey in Bollywood with a Rajkumar Santoshi film. Then I worked with noted directors like J P Dutta, Prakash Jha and Ketan Mehta.

Perception towards Indian television has changed in past few years. It is no more such a small screen, in fact it has wider audience and we should admire it.
