It was in 1976, I think. I was in South Africa on military engagement when someone left a magazine on my bed with the picture of a beautiful woman on the cover. I read that her name was Parveen Babi and I thought, I must go to Bombay and meet her. Bob Christo Read Quote
I built bridges and worked for the army and SAS in Vietnam and Zimbabwe. I also sold watches and Jaguars in the Philippines and Singapore. In 1977, I returned to civil engineering and was posted to Muscat. Bob Christo Read Quote
My Hindi was not very good, but I guess people liked my accent and gave me Hindi roles. Bob Christo Read Quote

During the making of ‘Abdullah’ I asked the assistant director to teach me Hindi; he taught me to read the script too. He also taught me Urdu. Now I can sign autographs in Hindi, Urdu and can write my name in Tamil. Bob Christo Read Quote

I had a spine problem. I did a lot of stunts and fights in Hindi cinema, had falls from horses… all that took a toll on my health. Bob Christo Read Quote
