No, I hardly spend time on the net. It's a misnomer. I just about check my emails. I am never at home or in areas where I can get access. I only spend time on the net when I want the kids to learn something so instead of just explaining it to them I tell them to go on the net so they learn about computers. Or Mr Computer.

Have you watched any Oscar nominated films this year?

No. I think my family saw Babel. I have not had time for the last one and a half months. I've finished a film, Chak De India, that was very hectic, in Delhi and Australia, Then I got back and got into KBC and Om Shanti Om. Today is the earliest I am getting back home in one and a half months.

Do you think being a celebrity brings added pressure like having to be a role model or people have expectations of you above and beyond the fact that you entertain them? How do you handle this kind of pressure?

Whatever pressure I have, there are pressures when you wake up in the morning to look at the papers and see who's torn you apart or praised you, there are pressures of your Friday film, which 90 per cent of the time people say it has flopped and you know it hasn't, there are pressures of people thinking yes, that you got to be of a certain stature, nature, behaviour in public, you can't really say a lot of things that you wish to, and in the end, people say oh you are being so diplomatic. But to be really honest, no amount of pressure is enough to take away from the fact that it is great to be a celebrity. if you have done it with your hard work.

Personally, I feel I've worked very hard and I've been on my own. I don't have godfathers and people who helped me out in this field. I've done it on my own. The sense of achievement is great, and whenever there is a pressure I realise that the sense of achievement is also mingled with the fact that a lot of times I have got things which are not deserving. There are things which are really fantastic that are undeserving. And I calculate them against some of the pressures of being a celebrity, which might be negative. I always find the undeserving positives to win by a large margin. So you can say now there is no pressure at all. Even if there is, I don't think of it as stressful.
