Sushant Singh Rajput
Indian Actor
I have seen extreme lows because of factors that were not in my hands - be it not having money to buy my first bike, dropping out of a prestigious engineering college without having a single rupee in my bank account, living with seven boys in a single-room kitchen in Mumbai, or eating nothing but khichdi every day. But I cherish all those moments.
Quote examples
Katrina Kaif
British Actress
Salman Khan did not help me get movie offers. What rubbish! Will any producer take a risk of millions of rupees at the instance of any person? Everyone knows that the film industry is highly competitive, and one gets a job on one's talent only and not on any recommendation.
Quote examples
Ritesh Agarwal
Indian Businessman
Other people's view was that saving a rupee is a rupee earned. But for our family, earning two rupees is a rupee earned. That means spending that 1 rupee to make that happen is what it is. It is a difference of risk-taking appetite, going out and doing stuff.
Quote examples
Virender Sehwag
Indian Athlete

Pankaj Tripathi
Indian Actor
I never thought that a time would come that someone will write a story keeping me in mind, or a producer will invest crores of rupees on a film that I will carry on my shoulders.
Quote examples
Rockline Venkatesh
We spend crores of rupees in the business of production but it is very rare to find a human being like Salman. He is a gem of a person.

Nirmala Sitharaman
Indian Politician
If exporters are looking at various factors which influence the performance, the fluctuating rupee will certainly be a factor.
