“Only on the last day of the shoot Bhumika Chawla revealed that she was...” — Ravi Babu Quote

Only on the last day of the shoot Bhumika Chawla revealed that she was pregnant. None of us had a clue about it and I was shocked to say the least. She is a thorough professional and just carried on with her job with no fuss whatsoever. Hat's off to her.

I never consider whether an actor is small or big. Working with small or big actors doesn't excite me.

Pigs grow very quickly, and you can see a difference within days. So we would shoot with one piglet for a couple of days, and then have to get a replacement.

There is a certain amount of freshness and credibility that new actors bring to any movie.

I don't want things to be done in a hurry. So I never keep pressure on music directors with deadlines. I ask them to take their own time.

I never hated my father. I would have named my child Usher regardless. I never hated myself because I carried his name, because I made it mean what I wanted it to mean.

If you want to reach the top, don't run over others. Likely, the only way you'll reach the top is to be carried there by others.

I became an insomniac, really, hardly slept at all, didn't even try to. And it's carried on. I hate to say I only need as much sleep as Mrs. Thatcher, but I can cope really well on five hours.

I try not to get carried away and to only focus on the team goals to keep winning, to keep performing to the best I can.

Fame... it's been a challenge, let's put it that way. It's a privilege and a responsibility, and I'm not sure I carried the responsibility well at times, which is embarrassing. And I've had to look and be disappointed in myself occasionally for how I behaved in some circumstances.
