Kelly is a realist

You are yet to leave a mark In Bollywood...
I think it has to do with my looks and identity. I say no to a lot of projects too. Directors have told me that people have to write you in. But I will be doing Mani���s next couple of films and am working towards international cinema.
You seem to have a ���negative��� fascination?
May be that���s why I���m working less.I���ve been trying to get films that offer me the lead antagonist���s role.
How important is it for you to make it in Bollywood?
It isn���t necessarily Bollywood. I got the odd Telugu film offer at a time when I wanted to make my mark as a negative actor.
You once said that you had no pretensions of being an SRK or Amitabh Bachchan.
I must���ve meant intention. I respect both. When in their company, I shut my mouth and absorb whatever I can. I don���t aspire to become what they have become. I���m not going to be an icon of Indian cinema like AB. And I���m never going to get SRK���s kind of adulation because I���ve never cared for adulation. I���m a realist; a simple guy. I appreciate my fans acknowledging me in a simple way without losing themselves.
You were vocal about the Tibet issue. How about other social issues?
I speak my mind about issues I believe in. I���m apolitical and guided by Buddhist principles and the spirituality that I���m learning from the Art of Living. I champion all sorts of things but I don���t intend to add a glamour quotient to what I do. I���ve my style and if people consider it to be glamourous, it���s their take. My actions are with a purity of heart with no intentions of being manipulative..
So, how do you react to the Lara-Dino link-up rumours?
Those who are interested in the matter and having been reading the entertainment news form their own judgement of it. But I never had any comments on my personal life. Maybe someday, I will voice my feelings. Not now.
