Quotes
Dalip Tahil
Veteran actor who played Madan Chopra in Baazigar
“You come from Delhi, you come from anywhere, and you want to make it as a hero — you've got to have a bit of confidence and cockiness. In this profession, those attributes work for you because most people around you don't have that kind of confidence. So when you arrive with it, people notice.”

“It was great fun because we drove around and they literally had to drag us out even for lunch. I think Shah Rukh used to have his lunch in the car. We had a wonderful time driving around the Sri Sri Parahanbadur track, racing in earnest.”
