As an Actor - He started off with some very average acting performances. Though Qayamat se Qayamat tak was a really big hit, but still his performances in that phase were nothing extraordinary. He used to ham and even overact in many movies. But as the decade went towards its end, and he went on to do lesser films an year, he started giving out some really impressive performances, like those in Rangeela, Ghulam, Earth, Sarfarosh. And as he himself have said in many interviews, that his frustrating experiences in movies like Mela and Mann made him think about acting and his career in a completely new view.And also, he created SATYAMEV JAYATE. At a time when he could have made crores by producing any masala movie or mass entertainer, what he chose to invest on was a show that needed meticulous detailing, high budget, audience approval and a lot of personal time investment. He talked about topics that were needed to be talked upon and created a show that created mass awareness and uprising of better thoughts.
