“I have been fortunate to get different types of work, but by and large...” — Pankaj Kapur Quote

I have been fortunate to get different types of work, but by and large till 90s for actors like me there were not many opportunities besides playing brother of the heroine or friend of the hero or young college villain after the earlier new wave was consumed by television.

The Urdu or Hindustani language we use isn't popular in theatre these days. It was a language that was being used in cinema from the 1950s until the '80s. It is a very communicative language.

I have loved playing every character that I essayed.

Television has been a powerful medium and it has been a huge part of my life at least 15 years.

There's so many other things that I can do with my time besides just worry about what the next man is doing, ya feel me?

I was lucky, and once I moved to L.A., I didn't have to get another job besides acting. But I wouldn't trade my previous jobs for anything.

I needed to become something besides the star everybody had built me up to be.

Besides that, I felt guilty. I thought for some reason... I was alive, and Buddy and those boys were dead, and I didn't know how, but somehow I'd caused it.

It's funny: your happiness is contingent on a bigger picture besides just yourself.
