(About Salman Khan's problem with John) If you ask me what is the problem even today, honestly, I don't know, but it's unfortunate that there is a problem. And if things get ok, it will be nice.

I was slightly disheartened when three of my films didn't work at the box-office. But the silver lining is that people did appreciate my work in those films. Had my performance gone unnoticed, I would've been in big trouble then.

I don't have a problem being labeled a sex symbol though I personally don't feel very sexy about myself. There's no harm in my creating a niche for myself in a certain bracket.

My greatest strength as an actor is that I follow my director's brief completely. The film is always the director's visual baby.

I have no inhibitions when it comes to showing off my physique, but appearing nude on screen is out of the question. I don't need to resort to it and definitely not at this stage of my career.

(About Bipasha Basu) She is great in the film. As for my personal life, I do not want to talk about it. Let people say and write what they want.
