Quotes

• "Still, at the bottom of my heart, I was hoping that this would just be a momentary phase and Anu's anger will subside. He is like a family member and a very close friend. I could never imagine in the wildest of my dreams that one day I will get a legal notice from him."
• "I had a candid chat with Anu Malik and he even tried to come up with something different. However, over a period of time I realised that we didn't quite get what we wanted. This is when Sachin and Jigar (who have been assistants to Pritam) came into the picture. I liked what they presented to me and told Anu Malik about it."
• "I really didn't see this coming. It's not for the first time in the history of Indian cinema that some other composer has been roped in to give music for a film that originally had a different composer."
• "She's a very talented girl and bound to go very far. I'd like to work with her again at the first given opportunity."
• "I had shot the two Anu Malik songs at a huge expense and they're integral to the story. There was no way I could remove them. Anyway Anu called from London and we both got very emotional talking about all the good times and fabulous tunes we shared in the past."
• "Yes,we have re-shot portions of Milenge Milenge in Delhi. The entire film is set in Delhi, just like my other hit film Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai with Kareena. In fact I was supposed to do another film with Kareena(Dil Chor with Abhishek Bachchan) for Boney. Instead we did Milenge Milenge."
• "Yamini was unfit for the role. She looked too big, was very raw and needed polishing. I wanted her to take lessons and hone her talent, but she wasn't interested in that and decided to continue her studies."
• "It was quite nice on her part as she wished them all the success. She is a great leader and I hold her in very high esteem. The people of Delhi love her and it is phenomenal to see the way she holds her dignity in front of lakhs of people."
• "I don't even think this really requires any justification."
• "Give him any job in the world and my character is confident that he can do that. That's his beauty. Even though this character laughs a lot, there is a lot more depth to him than what one perhaps misses out on the exterior."
