Versatile actor Sanjay Mishra, who has been lauded for his work in both mainstream and art-house cinema, says he is not "career-oriented" as acting is just a "part of his life".

Asked how his life has changed after "Masaan", Sanjay told IANS: "My life after 'Masaan' is the same like it was before. I am not very career-oriented. I have a life and a career. I am not at all career-oriented".

The 52-year-old actor says he believes in living blissfully as his career is just a part of his life.

"Career is a part of my life... But my life is main for me, I want to die in peace... by making people laugh and cry. I mean everything should be very good in this life. So that is why I am not very career-oriented," the "Golmaal" actor said.

Sanjay will next be seen in Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer "Dilwale", which is slated to hit the theatres on December 18.

The film is directed by Rohit Shetty and also stars Varun Dhawan, Kriti Sanon, Boman Irani and Johnny Lever.
