Quotes from Rahul Roy

I've never hidden anything in my life.

I will continue doing films till my last breathe and will regain my respectability in the industry.

When 'Aashiqui' was released nobody knew that it will be such a good film... it is a cult film.

It's not only 'Aashiqui.' In the case of any cult film which has a sequel or a remake, it is very difficult for the new one to live up to expectations because nostalgia is very difficult to beat.

The way Narendra Modi ji and Amit Shah ji have been taking the country forward and the way the perspective of the world towards India has changed in the past two years is remarkable.

'Aashiqui' is not my baby. It is Bhatt saab's story. I will always be remembered for the film, and nobody can take that away from me.

I have done six films with the Bhatt camp and I know that they are good at marketing, packaging the film and they are very good with music, a track record that they have proven since 25 years.

I was never desperate to make a comeback. But winning 'Bigg Boss' assured faith in me that I have a good reputation in the market.

I remember Yash Chopra ji had called me for a narration. I was preoccupied with other films and couldn't take up the offer as many of the projects I had signed on were already on floors and filmmakers were fighting for my dates. Well, the film was 'Darr,' which later went to Shah Rukh Khan and shaped his career.

Mahesh Bhatt introduced me to the world of films.

I'm keen to go back to Hindi films, both as an actor and even better, as a director.

I realized you cannot stay away from Mumbai and pursue your dreams.

During the late 1980s, I was in Delhi finishing my college and modeling. After reading an article that my mother wrote for a fashion glossy, Mahesh Bhatt sahab expressed the desire meet her. That's when he saw my pictures and asked whether I would want to work in Hindi films.

The music of 'Aashiqui' by Nadeem-Shravan was unbeatable.

Not that I was not getting offers, the big banners might not come but there was still an influx of offers but you know, my growth as an actor was stagnant. I did not want to do the same thing.

There was no point of doing films which could not add to my career growth.

Whether it is a privilege or whether it is a curse, I came into the industry not because I was seeking to be a star or an actor.

'Aashiqui' became a cult hit film. It was my first film which gave me not just recognition but stardom too, so I will always remain partial to it.

My journey was not hard because I have seen stardom and the downfall very closely in my career.

I didn't struggle initially. But after my hit Aashiqui, I didn't get any film offers for 8 months. That made me insecure.

When I met Sadhana, I thought it was perfect. Apart from the fact that she's a stunning woman, the reason why I love Sadhana is also because the kind of human being she is.

'The Message' is one of my most ambitious projects in terms of content and story.

I have no hang-ups about appearing in the nude.

I don't seek approval from anyone else.
