Chiranjeevi

More than the hits, flops will have an impact on my career. In fact, flops helped me shape my career. They made me look at things from a different angle.

Charan is very mature, and I see myself in him. He also gives equal importance to family, and as an actor, too, he does his job well.

Politics has been a roller coaster, but I'll never look back and say, 'Why did I do it?' In fact, if my son decided to join politics tomorrow, he has my full and unconditional support.

One wants to entertain the audience till the end. Sometimes, the desire is never-dying, as ANR garu once said. The caveat is that one has to be watchful of public reception.

In India, there are lots of places that I love, but my favourite is Kashmir.

Internationally, I love going to Switzerland. I went there many times for shooting and loved the Alps, the tranquility, cleanliness, the greenery and the warmth of the people there.

When I went to Spain, the tourism minister told me a lot of people want to come to India, as they love Bollywood, but they don't have direct flights and find it difficult to get visas on arrival that is currently offered to only citizens of nine countries.

In totality, I take care not be a bad influence on youngsters.

I'm not an ambitious person. I'm very content, and I have no pending dreams. God has given me so much, and if there's one thing I really want to do, it's to serve the people.

The tourism ministry may not have been the greatest portfolio, but no one can say that 'Chiranjeevi left without doing anything'. I have left my mark, as promised.

I always believe holidays strengthen the family bond, away from our daily hectic schedules.

When my fans and actors like Rajinikanth and Amitabh garu wished that I do films once again, I thought I should do. I had some skepticism in me, initially. But looking at the encouragement, I grew in confidence.
