Paresh Rawal

I've decided to get into active politics on Narendra Modiji's request. I don't know how successful I will be, but I'll give it my best shot.

Films are meant for the masses, for the purpose of entertainment.

As an actor, the experience that I have as a politician while sitting in Parliament - that helps me enrich myself as an actor. But I am an actor first.

Performing at Prithvi was a novel experience, because unlike other theatres, it was very different - it didn't have any curtains and the audience was at close proximity to the actors.

Why would any one make a biopic on me? I would have lived my life a certain way, had I known that a biopic will be made on it in future. I agree, every person's life has enough drama to be translated into a movie but I can't say the same about myself.

It's difficult to adopt mannerism of a real-life person and even add the nuances of your acting into it.

Sanjay Dutt is a prankster and brings life to the sets.

I frequently visit Ahmedabad. My sister lives here.

I don't think it would be very difficult for me to open the chapters of my life because there isn't much there.

Whatever I want to do or say, I get to do it on the silver screen, so in normal life I don't feel the necessity to do or say anything.

My ideology is the same as that of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which doesn't believe in a vote bank politics. It's a vision for better India.

I never felt like running away from my dreams.
