Tell
us
about
your
three
best
performances
which
you
would
like
to
repeat
at
this
age.
I
would
not
like
to
repeat
because
I
do
not
believe
in
repetitions.
It
is
like
going
backwards.
I
want
to
go
forward
in
my
life.
There
have
been
many
performances,
which
have
been
hailed
by
the
world;
performances,
which
were
hailed
by
the
critics,
some
performances
that
you
hail
yourself
that,
go
unnoticed.
I
think
every
film
I
have
done;
I've
put
in
my
best.
If
I
were
to
name
a
film
by
which
my
fans
know
me
till
today
it
has
to
be
-
Guide.
You
have
rated
'Romancing
with
Life" as
one
of
your
best
works.
As
far
as
films
are
concerned,
which
script
would
you
rate
as
your
favorite?
My
own
writing
work
was
brilliant
in
the
film,
Censor.
I
had
to
present
two
point
of
views.
One
of
a
liberal
mind
and
the
other
of
a
conservative
mind,
which
meant
the
government.
I
want
to
out-play
myself
in
every
department,
whether
it's
acting,
writing
my
book
or
writing
scripts
for
my
films.
Each
day
I
am
growing
younger
and
learning.
puffed
hairstyle
and
your
way
of
swinging
and
talking
still
inspires
hundreds
of
stand-up
comedians.
What
do
you
have
to
say?
I
was
myself.
I
was
Dev
Anand.
I
did
not
create
a
style
or
set
a
statement.
But
I
experimented
with
my
style
and
when
you
experiment,
chances
are
that
you
may
not
be
liked.
But
with
me,
I
set
a
trend
as
my
fans
from
all
over
the
world
wanted
their
Dev
Anand
to
be
the
way
they
wanted
him
to
be.
I
still
wear
one
thing,
which
has
been
with
me
since
more
than
three
decades
and
that
is
my
Scarf.
There
was
one
episode
with
Zeenat
Aman,
yourself
and
Raj
Kapoor
which
is
sending
shock
waves
to
the
fans
who
have
read
your
book.
How
true
is
that?
Each
and
every
page
of
'Romancing
with
Life"
is
true.
Nothing
is
false.
I
cannot
talk
much
in
detail
about
the
incident,
which
happened
during
the
evening
party.
I
had
no
monopoly
over
Zeenat.
I
said
one
day
that
Zeenat
will
be
a
big
star
and
she
did.
She
became
a
cult
figure.
I
brought
her
to
the
world
of
cinema
and
the
world
took
her.
I
was
the
one
who
introduced
Zeenat
to
Raj
and
for
which
Raj
paid
me
a
compliment.
All
I
can
say
is
that
one
has
to
move
ahead
in
life
and
that
is
what
I
did
at
that
time.
Performance
wise,
whom
would
you
rate
as
your
best
co-actress.
I
cannot
talk
about
any
one.
Right
now,
I
can
remember
that
Waheeda
Rehman
was
good
in
Guide,
Zeenat
was
good
in
Hare
Rama
Hare
Krishna,
Tina
grew
with
Des
Pardes
and
Nutan
in
Tere
Ghar
Ke
Samne.
I
have
enjoyed
working
with
Suraiya
and
Hema
Malini
too.
At
84,
do
you
still
dream
of
having
an
Oscar
Award
for
the
lifetime
achievement?
It
is
a
tremendous
stimulus
for
the
man
who
gets
an
Oscar.
They
say
when
you
get
an
Oscar,
the
revenue
of
a
motion
picture
skyrockets.
It's
a
great
to
win
an
Oscar
but
even
greater
is
the
feeling
when
you
show
your
film
to
the
world...and
that's
the
biggest
Oscar.
What's
the
best
compliment
you've
received
in
your
sixty
years
of
career?
It
has
to
come
from
my
fans.
They
say
that
I
inspire
them
as
I
have
a
very
optimistic
approach
towards
life.
I
am
full
of
zest,
energy,
and
passion.
Which
of
the
current
actor's
work
do
you
admire
the
most?
Again,
I
will
not
single
out
anybody.
The
mere
fact
that
the
actor
is
a
Star,
Badshah
or
a
King
proves
that
the
actor
has
something
in
him
or
her
which
people
admire.
Any
recent
film
which
you
have
loved
watching?
I
see
all
the
films
of
my
contemporaries
as
it
gives
me
motivation
to
do
something
better.
It's
good
to
see
how
these
young
minds
are
coming
together
and
making
a
hit
film
in
today's
unpredictable
times.
The
only
film,
which
I
can
remember
seeing,
is
the
Munnabhai
MBBS
starring
Sanjay
Dutt.
I
was
invited
by
Raj
Kumar
Hirani
to
see
the
film
before
its
release.
I
liked
the
film.
What
food
do
you
choose
to
eat
when
you
are
in
London?
I
am
a
vegetarian,
except,
I
do
not
mind
eating
good
chicken.
I
like
to
have
continental
and
Italian
dishes
too
and
sometimes
you
get
good
and
tasty
Indian
food
in
London
than
in
India.
There
are
many
actors
who
are
not
so
approachable
in
today's
time.
How
approachable
are
you?
I
have
to
remember
that
my
fans
are
the
ones
who
have
brought
me
here
today
where
I
am.
If
it
pleases
them,
I
will
do
anything
for
them.
If
my
presence
makes
them
happy,
then
I
will
even
go
and
meet
them
at
their
house.
India
in
your
era
was
different.
What
has
changed
India?
India
has
never
changed;
it
has
always
grown
from
strength
to
strength.
I
love
my
country
India
but
that
does
not
mean
that
I
go
on
beating
the
drum
about
my
patriotic
feeling.
India
is
growing
and
I
am
proud
of
it.
There
are
great
young
brains
today
in
India,
as
good
as
anywhere
else
and
they
are
going
to
beat
the
world.
Even
in
films,
there
are
new
scriptwriters,
new
directors,
new
technicians,
etc.
It
is
a
very
healthy
sign.
What
is
that
one
thing
you
cannot
live
without?
I
cannot
live
without
my
films,
my
cinema,
and
my
work.
For
me,
until
I
die,
movie
making
and
acting
will
always
be
my
first
and
last
love.
How
would
you
sum
up
your
book
'Romancing
with
Life"?
'Romancing
with
Life"
is
a
very
positive
book.
It
is
I...Dev
Anand,
its
ongoing
and
it
is
definitely
not
all
of
me
yet.
There
are
many
things,
which
are
not
mentioned
in
the
book
because
of
space.
Your
evergreen
Dev
Anand
will
come
again
with
greater
gusto
with
an
even
bigger
and
better
something.
