"I truly believe that the image thing is for other people, not me. That perception or image doesn't mean anything to me. I don't even know how that got formed. I have no idea as to why hundreds of people stand outside my house [Mannat in Mumbai] every day?"
What they are seeing is my films, which is enacted by an actor. He is five feet nine inches, does his job, and goes back home. I can't take any responsibility for where it has gone beyond.
I can't believe in it as that'd be wrong because it would mean that I have started believing in my own myth, and that would be odd," said the superstar in his recent interview with Hindustan Times.
