Films should be timeless, like a love that never fades.

Film is an escape, but it also mirrors life in its true essence.

Love transcends everything, it makes us human.

Love is not about being together physically, but being together in spirit.

The depth of your love is measured by the moments you are willing to sacrifice for it.

People don’t watch films for perfection; they watch for authenticity and emotion.

Love is the most powerful force in the world.

Love is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship.

Every film I’ve made, I’ve tried to capture the essence of love.

In love, you don’t need to speak to understand each other.

The film industry is a reflection of society and human emotions.

Every character in my films is like a piece of my own soul.

The beauty of romance is that it never really grows old. It’s eternal.

Love is not a transaction; it’s a connection.

The heart knows no logic when it comes to love.

Music is the soul of my films. Without music, my films would be incomplete.

When you work with talented people, magic happens.

Filmmaking is an art, and art can only be enjoyed when it’s felt.

The greatest expression of love is not in words, but in actions.

In love, there are no winners or losers; both sides always lose and gain equally.

Every film I make, I make it for the audience. They are the real stars.

The magic of cinema is that it transcends boundaries.

No one can predict the future of a film. You just have to make it from the heart.

The beauty of love lies in its imperfections.

Love is not a destination, it’s a journey with the person you love.

The success of a film depends on how much you connect emotionally with your audience.

You need to feel the pulse of the audience when you’re making a movie.

The story of a film is like a love affair. The most important thing is the emotions.

Life is too short to waste on hating someone.

Love is not about possession; it’s about appreciation.

A director’s job is to make a dream come true.

I believe in destiny, and I think everything happens for a reason.

Sometimes, the person you love the most doesn’t love you in return, but that doesn’t mean they don’t love you at all.

Though “Veer-Zaara” is a film about cross-border love, there isn’t a word of politics in it. Forget politics, there isn’t slap, not even a raised voice in “Veer-Zaara”(2004). It’s a very intense, humane and emotional story. “Veer-Zaara” (2004) is a humble tribute to my home in Punjab. It’s my tribute to the one-ness of people on both sides of the border. Every religion preaches peace. Then why the bloodshed for the sake of religion? Why are we destroying each other?.

Though, technically, I’m shooting on location, my films are actually based inside a woman’s heart. I think women are more emotional than men, and that’s a thread I’ve explored in all my films. When I see TV these days, I’m shocked at how all the main women characters are portrayed as evil. Women are the foundation of everything, and they deserve to be treated that way on camera.

If I’m making a film, I put my heart and soul into it.

Cinema is a reflection of society. It shows the best and the worst of us.

Love is not finding someone to live with; it’s finding someone you can’t live without.

My technicians are my most important tools. Once I establish a rapport with them, then they would understand me in my next film. I wouldn’t have to train anyone new. I give a lot of respect to all my technicians, because I’m a technician too. I wouldn’t be able to convey a feeling if the writer didn’t write it well, and the cameraman didn’t shoot it well.

What is the point of making the film if the man doesn’t marry the girl?

Love is the essence of life. It makes you see everything in a different light.

In the game of love, there are no rules; only the players change.

There are only two types of cinema – good or bad.

I’ve been able to make some wonderful films, but sometimes you make films with great passion – great belief – and these films slightly don’t work at the box office, and they become your favorite films.

When I was in college, my brother, B.R. Chopra, who is everything to me, was a director in Bombay. He taught me filmmaking. What I am today is because of him.

You can always make a good film but for it to be successful, you need God’s blessing.

Mumbai’s infectious. Once you start living in Mumbai, working in Mumbai, I don’t think you can live anywhere else.

The only kind of love that can be kept alive is the unrequited kind.

I’m not making films just to be bold.

Human beings are very complex creatures. This desire, this greed, this love is very complex.

I always believe that my films should give some hope to the man who comes to watch them for those three hours. If he goes home on an optimistic note, I would feel satisfied at having done my duty.

I was in Lahore before the partition, so I don’t believe that a border can truly separate Punjab. I still think of it as one.

Love is like swallowing hot chocolate before it has cooled off. It takes you by surprise at first, but keeps you warm for a long time.

The secret of being a great actor is a love of food.

I don’t make romantic films. I make films about human relationships.
