• "I was playing a comic role in Fight Club, and no one laughed at my antics because I was new, and the only one with a role like that. Ritesh explained to me that if I acted out a comic role in a film where everybody else was also being funny, then maybe I will be accepted as a comic actor. Now, I am hoping that 90 per cent of my films are comedies. I would love to act in a romantic film like 'Dilwaale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge'. It is my dream film. To realise my dream, I have to reach a point in my career where my producer will trust me enough to carry a film on my own. There is time, but I am sure it will happen"mdash;Ashish ChowdhuryOne India: Ashish Chowdhury Interview (November 2, 2007)
