Bipasha is a very sincere and professional actor.

Earlier in my career, there may have been compulsions for accepting films for money.

The police and the army do their job honestly and sincerely. They are devoted to the country.

I used to be the chief guest in all the prize distribution ceremonies of shooting competitions. I tried my hand on a lot of guns, and my aim improved. I started hitting tiny targets, like a mineral bottle cap.

Political life is like this - elections go back and forth. Representative democracy can only be successful if one sits down and says, 'That's it. I will connect myself,' - as I did - 'connect my existence to a political project.' Then you automatically have in your party a lot of people who say, 'If that fails, so do I'.

I propose that the government should get out of the business of marrying people and, instead, only give legal status to civil unions.

Football helped me with confidence that I needed. It gave me a sense of independence and earning my own money and my own keep. That's what it served. It gave me the strength to be able to deal with rejection, politics, hard work, and being introduced to pain and embracing what's uncomfortable.

What I'm passionate about is History, and politics interest me only insofar as it is the cross-section of History in the present.
