Quote

I'm not a politician; I'm lucky to be a filmmaker and to be able to express myself through the films I make.

Politics is not my life. I have a career in radio and another career in film.

When I make a film, I'm not doing it purely for political reasons. If I just wanted to do that, I'd run for office.

I enjoy politics, but if I had a third career - and I've had multiple careers - my third act would be acting.

But I did on projects that I produced, that I directed, that I acted in because it was important. I want to be a filmmaker. I don't want to be an actor who directs, I want to be a director. I want to be a filmmaker. So that's a big difference.

I mean, the last thing I want to do is be involved in politics.

I wanted to have a political career. I thought studying political science would be the best way to achieve it.

When I do a political movie, I do a political movie.

I'm very happy doing what I'm doing; I don't think I'm prepared to devote my time to politics. When I am, I'd like to give it 100%. I'm not in the frame of mind, and I'm too greedy an actor to do that.

Life itself has so much politics, why should I make it my profession? I'm just a politician's son, not a politician myself. Two politicians, that's my dad and elder brother, in the family are enough. I'm happy doing my own stuff in Bollywood.
