My belief is that policy cannot be piecemeal.
Enhancing fabric production will also lead to strengthening the power loom sector.
I cannot have any apprehensions during elections.
I don't know if many people know that one of the first jobs that I wanted and I lined up for was cabin crew at Jet. I was rejected because I was told I don't have a good personality. Thank God for your rejection. After that, I got a job at McDonald's, and the rest is history.
As a politician, I engage with all kinds of opinions irrespective of whether they are in the media or not.
Let me very proudly say that as a television actor, I never, ever saw any gender bias.
I've done shows like 'Kuchh Dil Se,' which was a talk show on socio-political economic issues. So I do do a variety of stuff, but I think 'Kyunki' gets the most limelight.
Industry people do know when a PR movement plays out. The issue is that it is an insult to our intelligence when those who are doing the PR thing presume that we are not wiser.
If you teach a girl, you are not just imparting education to a woman but to a family that will later help in nation building.
Even if Narendra Modi sneezes, people will find a reason to criticise him for that.
Fiscal prudence is very important.
I have seen rural life and met all kinds of people.
I meet party workers. This is a must because it helps me understand the problems and issues of voters at the district level.
I feel travelling by road helps me connect with more people and understand their problems.
If anything, 'Kyunki Saas' is impossible without Ekta Kapoor.
Life, especially life on soaps, sometimes needs a reality check.
I was born in a free country, which seeked to encourage freedom and justice for all. I want to be a part of that process, just like any other Indian.
One should not encourage division on the basis of religion, region, caste, or creed if one wants India to truly rise as one of the greatest nations of the world.
The country's future is what you will make it. Make your local representatives in parliament and assembly more answerable. Ask for more transparency in use of public funds.
I am lucky to be part of a 'Kyunki.' Not every actor gets a chance to be part of a successful television show.
