Mentoring is an interesting job.
I like 'Intaha ho gayi ithazar ki' from 'Sharaabi' and 'Chalte Chalte.' I like them because they are immortal.
The period between 1980 and 1995 was my era.
Reality shows like 'SaReGaMaPa' are a huge platform for young talent. Thanks to television, they have more exposure than we could even imagine.
Congress is a culture and I would love to be part of it.
Ever since my childhood days in Kolkata, where I was born, I had seen my father interacting with Congressmen.
Sonia Gandhi is great. She is adorable.
You can't compare Lata Mangeshkar with anyone.
I don't have words for her. I only know there will be not another Lata Mangeshkar.
It's in God's hands when we come on this earth and when we leave.
If I can do anything to help Bollywood by being in politics, I think it's worth my while.
I am an extremely religious and spiritual person.
I respect and believe in all religions.
Whatever I think, talk and do is because of the influence of God. My music is a tribute to Him. Whenever I compose any music, I try to reach God. I would advice all the budding musicians to do the same and see the difference. Thanks to Him, I am what i am today.
I am a karmayogi and I think without God's blessings no one can achieve anything in this world.
Unlike others, I wear my gold at all times. That's why it's become my image and people call me the Gold Man.
These gold chains and pendants I've been collecting from 1975. None of them are new and mostly - Hare Krishna Hare Rama, Ganpati, Satyanarayan, Hanuman - all god-related pendants.
I have got gold secure all the time so income tax people will not be able to take the gold from my neck!
My first was a Hare Rama Hare Krishna pendant bought in 1976. The other pendants I wear are Balaji from Tirupati, a pendant of my guruji Shri Krishna and Lord Ganpati.
Most of my jewellery is designed in South India. I pick out unique pieces in silver and then remake them in gold. None of my pieces are gifts; I make all my jewellery.
