"HE WAS BORN LIKE A KID AND GONE LIKE A KID—be it personal, professional, or private. He became a great screen actor only because he would react to every scene or situation in life like a kid. He always remained CHINTU rather than RISHI KAPOOR. I’m sure his wife NEETU SINGH would agree, because only she could handle him all the times. CHINTU is very special to me always. As he must have done 100 plus films, the KARZ GUITAR TUNE keeps him at the top always, with his mesmerizing smile even with ZEN G. Today, September 4th: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHINTU. We all miss you. Keep smiling. Lots of love always." - Subhash Ghai

"NOTHING LIKE BEING A WRITER IN LIFE. As you can understand life from various perspectives—of a child, a woman, a man of all ages, a saint, and an evil person equally—and experience them emotionally while writing them. You don’t belong to your individual perspective anymore at that time. It’s one of the most creative satisfactions and a great meditation by itself. So, I suggest you must write a line or two on your page every day. Right or wrong—does not matter. You will feel better; you will feel in love within somehow." - Subhash Ghai

"Congratulations to Mukta Arts!

"ISN'T IT REWARDING TO GET A MESSAGE FROM YOUR PROTÉGÉE WITH THIS PICTURE CELEBRATING 27 YEARS OF "PARDES"? Thank you, dear Mahima, for your sweet message today as "feels like yesterday." Yes, it was a big challenge to make a film with fresh talent with an established star like SRK with his super performance. You were blessed with a Filmfare Award for your great performance, and the movie ran for 60 weeks. Congratulations to you, Shahrukh, Apurva, and the full team of "PARDES" for being an evergreen film. It still resonates. I LOVE MY INDIA." - Subhash Ghai

"WHEN TWO SUPERSTARS LIT THE LAMP, WHISTLING WOODS WAS LAUNCHED on 18th July 2006 in Film City, Mumbai. Mukta Arts had spent over Rs 100 crore. It was moment for a big challenge for us to prove to the world that it was worth this investment and quality to achieve. In 2010, it was declared one of the top ten film schools in the world by the Hollywood Reporter. Today, Whistling Woods has 3700 alumni in the industry and 1100 students on campus with 118 awards achieved worldwide. Feeling blessed. Thank you all." - Subhash Ghai

"ROME WAS NEVER BUILT IN A DAY. So THE WHISTLING WOODS INTERNATIONAL took 25 years of my life since 1999 to conceive, build, and make it as a TOP TEN FILM AND CREATIVE ARTS SCHOOL OF THE WORLD - BEST IN ASIA. With 3700 alumni building the media arts industry and 1100 students on campus today with the best faculty and team, today is our FOUNDER'S DAY when WWI was launched in 2006 with only 80 students. Now, the sky is the limit. My heartfelt thanks to Mr. Anand Mahindra and the governing council to guide, and to Rahul Puri and the team for their constant passion and great vision ahead. They are the real founders. THANK YOU ALL." - Subhash Ghai

कई बोलिया, कई भाषाएँ, एक सूत्र में बंधी आशाये। सबसे बड़ा त्योहार हमारा, मत दान देने जाएँगे भारत के लिए। This song was recorded in 14 languages of India, including Hindi, with renowned singers from every region by the music school of Whistling Woods International, Mumbai, for the Election Commission of India. Here are two great singers from the Telugu and Assamese regions: Dear Mano in Telugu and Papon in Assamese. Thank you for your wonderful tribute to "Mai Bharat Hoon." - Subhash Ghai

"Strange but true Our logo design symbolizes three everlasting universal energies: #SOUND, #LIGHTS, and #UNIVERSE ॐ. This concept was in my mind while designing the logo for #MUKTA ARTS Pvt. Ltd. in 1981, which produced its first super hit, HERO, followed by many blockbusters. We ventured into distribution films in 1991, became 1st corporatized film production in 2001, entered the film exhibition in 2011, and into OTT and television in 2021. Additionally, we established the largest film school, #WHISTLINGWOODS, in 2006. Now, we are marching ahead to become even stronger in 2025. Feel blessed Thank you all." - Subhash Ghai

Keep it up. Blessings." - Subhash Ghai
