Soundbites: “I can’t be playing the lover boy anymore…”

”It is nothing less than a case study of its own. I can slice and dice a dozen-odd instances when it was proved time and again that Salman was nothing like he was being made out to be. I have absolutely no clue how negative stories about him keep emerging out of nowhere. As I look at them today, I believe these are all someone’s cooked up imaginations.”
- Asin, on filming London Dreams with Salman Khan.

“I would disagree that actors of my age don’t get important roles to play in movies. Look at Dada Muni (Ashok Kumar)…he was an example. He kept doing important roles even till he was 80 years old…I can’t be playing the lover boy anymore. So, I do all those roles that suit a 67-year-old.”
- Amitabh Bachchan, on aging gracefully onscreen.

“My blessings are with the person who keeps my daughter happy because at the end of the day, her happiness is all that matters to me…It is Kareena’s honesty that she talks to me about him. If she decides to cut me off from her life tomorrow there is nothing much that I could do.”
- Randhir Kapoor, on his daughter’s relationship with Saif Ali Khan.

“Such stories will always run. It’s like old wine and all that you have to do is get a new bottle to package it all well. Our sentiments will never go away and this is the reason why when I saw ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, I really loved it.”
- Akshay Kumar

“Every film is a challenge for me which evolves me as an actress. I don`t think I need to act in an art film to know myself better as an actress…I think the Indian cinema is going through a positive change where script is almighty. I have been lucky to get well-etched characters in my past films. For example, Meera in Love Aaj Kal was a challenging one as an actress.”
- Deepika Padukone
