"I'm glad that I'm being acclaimed as an actor. Today, when my hard work has paid off, I can chill out about it"
About this Quote
The intent is plain: gratitude without groveling, confidence without arrogance. The subtext is more interesting. "Being acclaimed as an actor" reads like an answer to a long-running footnote in his career: the action star, the crowd-pleaser, the bankable face sometimes treated as less "serious" than prestige contemporaries. By naming the accolade explicitly, he acknowledges that status is socially granted and, in Bollywood, often policed by gatekeepers of taste. The word "today" adds a news-cycle immediacy, suggesting a recent award, review, or critical turn that finally legitimizes what fans already paid for.
"Chill out" is doing cultural work too. It’s casual, almost dismissive, a little defensive: now that the receipt is stamped by critics, he can stop auditioning for respect and return to the steadier thing he actually sells - consistency. In an industry where reinvention is fetishized, he makes a case for stamina.
