'I had lied to Yashji about my age. I was only 13-and-a-half, but I told him I was 18.' 'When the time came to travel to Yashji's famous Swiss shoots, I had to get a school leaving certificate.' 'When I gave Yashji the certificate, he almost fell off the chair.'
'I'm very proud of what family I come from, but I feel it must always be an afterthought... 10 years of my work will get nullified when people say "Yeh toh genes main hai".'
'What more can I ask for?' 'Salman and Ranbir Kapoor know how to respect their seniors.'
'A lot of actors auditioned for Wagle Ki Duniya, but R K Laxman rejected them all.' 'He was the decision-maker, as the serial was based on his Common Man.' 'He wanted a natural, who looked like a common man.'
'I have absolutely no regrets because if it wasn't for this learning that I've gone through, I wouldn't be here today.'
'Shah Rukh and I have a very good relationship.' 'When he is with you, he is completely yours, once he leaves the room, he doesn't know you.' Pamela Chopra discusses her life with her late husband Yash Chopra, and sons Aditya and Uday Chopra in an exclusive interview.

'For the paraplegic young girl, I needed a fresh face, someone who did not have the baggage of doing such movies before, someone who the audience liked.'

'Salman is on television for the last 15 years.' 'Why don't you call Amitabh Bachchan a TV actor? He's been doing Kaun Banega Crorepati for 20 years.'
