His views
Twinkle Khanna: (Wife)“Tina (Twinkle Khanna) is a perfect homemaker. She is an independent woman and she is making a lot of money in her interior decoration business. I am fascinated by the way she conducts her business. She has a positive approach to life, and that works well for me. We are completely opposites, I guess we got together because opposites attract. Tina is outgoing, I'm not. She speaks her mind, I don't.”
Alka: (Sister)“Alka is the most beautiful woman I have seen. I admire the way she runs her spa, Aroma Garden. She makes people look beautiful – as beautiful as her...”
Aarav: (Son)Aarav calls me Deda, I too called my dad the same. Recently I bought him a piggy-bank, which has become his favourite possession. He is learning to save in this piggy-bank from this age, which is a good habit. Whenever I am shooting in Mumbai, I take a lunch break, during which I pick Aarav up from his school and eat with him.

My Son: Aarav calls me Deda, I too called my dad the same. Recently I bought him a piggy-bank, which has become his favourite possession. He is learning to save in this piggy-bank from this age, which is a good habit. Whenever I am shooting in Mumbai, I take a lunch break, during which I pick Aarav up from his school and eat with him.
My Motorbike: My father gave me my heavymetal blue motorbike. I ride the bike sometimes to the studios and have also used it for photoshoots. The day Tina launched her store, White Window, I was running late for the event. So I rode my bike and zoomed in on time. Every week I clean the bike myself, I don't allow anyone else to touch it.
My Nano iPod: This is my latest obsession and I am hooked on to it. I am not a gizmo person, but I off late I have started surfing the Internet on my laptop, and download tracks in my iPod. My iPod has rap, hip-hop, club music, Spanish music. Recently when I was in Mauritius, I heard a Spanish track on the radio and I drove everyone crazy, asking for the song. Now I have it in my iPod.
Sweets and Mangoes: I am a mithai lover. I love those desi ghee Punjabi sweets and desserts. I love mangoes too. This summer I will be travelling for my world tour but I have asked my friends to get me Alphonso mangoes and other mithais from Mumbai. (Akki is so fond of mangoes that Vipul Shah incorporated it in his film, Waqt)
My DVDs: I try and watch at least one international film a day. I buy DVDs by the dozen. My alltime favourite film is Life Is Beautiful and I cry by the buckets whenever I see it. Jean Luc Goddard's Breathless is another favourite of mine. I wish someone in India could make a film like this.
