VINOD KHANNA: He's my true contemporary. We started on the same day, same time, same studio, same film. A libran like me!

SANJEEV KUMAR: He taught me the power of individuality. He said to me, When everything else is wrong, be it the sets, the dialogue, the director, the script, you still have the chance to make it right. And only you have the power to do it! Once the camera is on nothing else matters... but you'!

SHASHI KAPOOR: He's one guy I'd love to hate. And hate to love. But I just can't help but love him,

DHARMENDRA : I've admired him as an actor but I admire him much more as a human being. He's the one actor I've met who's all human.

RISHI KAPOOR: Chhotte sarkar to me. But as far as acting is concerned, he's a bada, bada sarkar.

NASEERUDDIN SHAH : He's somebody who I can long for... No, it's not what you're thinking... I can never stop longing to work with him.

RAJESH KHANNA: The most complicated person on the surface but the most simple on the inside. But not everybody can see that deep.
