Why he might be annoying:

    In his early films, he wore his hair in a Steven Seagal-style ponytail.
    He frequently dated his costars, which resulted in production of 'Police Force: An Inside Story' (2004) being delayed when he and female lead Raveena Tandon broke up.
    He is a teetotaler who advertised for liquor companies.
    He was granted Canadian citizenship without having to go through the usual residency requirements (2011) -- coincidentally just after he had appeared at campaign events for Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is proficient in taekwondo and Thai boxing.
    He was nicknamed 'the Indian Jackie Chan' for doing his own stunts, such as jumping off a flying plane onto a hot air balloon for 'Khiladi 420' (2009).
    He won Filmfare Awards for Best Villain ('Ajnabee,' 2002) and Best Comedian ('Garam Masala,' 2006).
    He provided the voice of Optimus Prime in the Hindi dub of 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' for free because his son is a fan of the film series.
    He keeps his children out of the media, saying he wants to 'give them a normal childhood.'
    In an episode of American Dad!, Stan calls him 'the handsomest man in the world.'
