“I've been to all the Dhaams, Tirupati, Shirdi, most of the temples in ...” — Alok Nath Quote

I've been to all the Dhaams, Tirupati, Shirdi, most of the temples in the Northern belt, but I go there for religious reasons. Pilgrimages are not my idea of fun!

The last time I met Sir Richard Attenborough was while dubbing for Gandhi in Mumbai. My interaction with him was short and sweet but definitely a memorable experience.

I have never said no to a film. Except once, 20-25 years ago, when a producer from Madras wanted me to play Jeetendra's father.

Gone are the days of letters and I miss them. My fans used to wish me via letters and I loved reading them.

What do you do when you don't have money to buy food or a house to live in? You accept whatever you get and incidentally, you are typecast in a particular role. And if you say no, eventually someone else will end up doing it, which will lead to an increase in the competition.

My biggest dream is the belt.

Writing takes gall. I like to think that's true even for writers with several books under their belt, writers who have been doing it for years. It takes something - guts, gumption, self-delusion - to ask for a reader's time when we all know there's nothing new under the sun; that it's all been said, or written, before.

I just wanted to win the belt one time.

My mother, grandmother and older sister all cooked, so it was hard to get into the kitchen. So I have no talent for cooking. I was always out in the garage with my dad. I have a tool belt. I'm a repair chick.

To take the belt from the champ you need to finish him.
