00:00A lot of my colleagues, they feel that Anil bhai kuch nahi hai, sirf bhaali bhaali hai.
00:04I don't know what I would have done if I was not in this film industry.
00:06It's been a fantastic evening. You've been working in the movies for, I think, how many years now?
00:341978-79, so it's almost 30 years.
00:3630 years, and you've been through ups and downs and hits and flops and always maintained your stature,
00:42always maintained your dignity and maintained your stardom.
00:44It must have been a tough ride. How does it feel today?
00:47Well, I think, Karan, honestly, God has been very kind to me.
00:53And the film industry has been wonderful.
00:56All my directors have been wonderful. All my co-stars have been wonderful.
01:00I have some great friends, and my family has been wonderful.
01:06Everyone's been really wonderful, and seriously, honestly, I'm telling you,
01:10I don't know what I would have done if I was not in this film industry, honestly.
01:12I've had a great time. Every moment I've spent over here has been wonderful.
01:21You've had the biggest hits. You've had some setbacks.
01:24It's been tough, I'm sure, on those Fridays where things don't work out.
01:27You know, when you have... Never for you?
01:29Never felt it.
01:30Never felt it? I'll press my lyometer now. How can you not feel it?
01:34Honestly, you can ask all my friends. You can ask my family. Never.
01:39We were discussing about you being a good boy, Anil.
01:42We've never really heard... I mean, have you heard or you've just covered it all up?
01:45You know better, maybe. Has he been up to tricks?
01:47No, no, no. In fact, that day, we were just sitting at Anil's office and just chatting,
01:53and we were talking about various things, and Anil was saying,
01:56Akshay, you know, for 30 years or 25 years, however long he's been an actor,
02:01he says, I've had no controversy. You know, nothing to keep me in the news.
02:07You know, make-up, break-up, you had a fight with this one.
02:11Slapped another hero. Pitched towards somebody.
02:13He said, I've had nothing.
02:15There have been some legendary stories about a hyper you, about your hair and your...
02:18A lot of my friends and a lot of my contemporaries and a lot of my colleagues,
02:22they feel that Anil doesn't have anything, just hair.
02:26You're a bower's delight. So how old are you, Anil?
02:30I'm 30 years old because I was born in 78 when I first faced the camera, so I'm 30.
02:36You're 30. Fine. Okay. All right. Okay. And I'm the Queen of England.
02:40Are you at all sometimes in a very funny way an embarrassment to your children?
02:44Because sometimes, when I mean that in the most positive way,
02:46because sometimes when you see your dad up there, you know, dancing and looking really sexy...
02:49I'm constantly an embarrassment. I'm constantly an embarrassment.
02:51They're always embarrassed of you.
02:52Yeah, absolutely. They're embarrassed about me. They're embarrassed about my film.
02:56They're embarrassed about everything that I do.
