I don’t think of tomorrow. I am a swayamsevak, a committed BJP cadre and social worker. This is my identity. There can be ex-PMs, ex-CMs, ex-ministers, but a party worker will always remain a worker.

All the culture that I learned did not allow me to use foul language. So all the bitterness was compressed inside me. But when I used to drink all those barriers will break and I would become a very nasty man and would use foul language. I used to become another person. It was unhealthy, irrational and causing problem to many people. It impacted my marriage with [actor] Honey [Irani]. If I were a sober and responsible person, the story would have been different.

We have the power to vote and we should take it as our responsibility to save this country. I request everyone to look at the VVPAT slip carefully after voting to make sure that your votes went to the right party.
Farooq Abdullah
National Conference leader
BJP’s filthy tricks [are] destroying institutions like the Election Commission of India. Is the BJP so nervous to face people that they are turning ECI into a party office to target the opposition? ECI or His Master’s Voice?

It is up to you to use technology for its advantage. Today, I may be recognised by people who may or may not have seen my films because they have seen me on social media. And that is not a bad thing because that gives me the reach. It also leaves me open to criticism by thousands of negative people.
I need to filter that and channelise it.
