‘I came into politics to bring a smile on people’s faces.’<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I share my birth date with the very dignified strong and no-nonsense Mrs Sonia Gandhi,” Shatrughan Sinha, who turns 77 on December 9, tells Subhash K Jha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

His career as an actor began in 1968 and admits being an actor was an irrevocable decision.<\/p>\n

“When I decided to be an actor it was like a final plunge. I believe one has to excel in one or all three of the following spheres of activity: Sports, education and cinema,” Shatruji<\/em>, who is now a Trinamool Congress MP, says.<\/p>\n

“If you can’t excel in all three, at least excel in one of these. I succeeded in one. I became an actor. And I wanted to be the best.<\/p>\n

“If I was a singer I’d want to be Mohammad Rafi or Kishore Kumar.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I don’t believe in celebrating my birthday or in having a party,” says Shatruji<\/em>. “I am happy about the way things have turned out in my life.<\/p>\n

“Also my daughter’s career is doing well. Otherwise what is so special about a birthday at this age? It’s an occasion to share your happiness with loved ones.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Birthday wishes?<\/p>\n

“I want those close to me to be healthy and happy. And I want the nation to be rescued from the clutches of corruption. Those are my birthday wishes.”<\/p>\n

Shatruji<\/em> had to struggle hard to get where he is as an actor.<\/p>\n

“At that time it didn’t seem like a struggle. It was a process I was prepared to go through.<\/p>\n

“I started with bit roles in Sajan<\/em> and Gambler<\/em>. They were cameos. But they made a big impact.<\/p>\n

“I did a number of villains’ roles which were very successful.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For the first time audiences applauded when the villain beat up the hero.<\/p>\n

“Yes, that too happened. Then I made a successful switchover to hero’s roles in my dear friend Subhash Ghai’s Kalicharan<\/em> and Vishwanath<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Cinema was now a habit rather than a challenge. I got restless, and came into politics to bring a smile on people’s faces.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He was known to be quite a flirt in his time. Shatruji<\/em> doesn’t deny it.<\/p>\n

“But no woman would ever accuse me of improper behaviour. I have always had the highest regard for women.<\/p>\n

“Of course there was a lot of flirting with my co-stars. They enjoyed it as much as I did. But now I’d advise young actors to not indulge in it.<\/p>\n

“Times have changed. I feel it is a very important moment in time for the safety and modesty of women in every sphere of Indian life.<\/p>\n

“But we must be careful of those who discredit the MeToo movement with their hidden agendas.<\/p>\n

“I’ve always stood up for the rights of women. Their empowerment means the empowerment of our society.<\/p>\n

“I’ve two very empowered women at home — my wife Poonam and my daughter Sonakshi. I am scared of both.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Shatruji<\/em> is also happy about sharing his birthday with Sonia Gandhi.<\/p>\n

“I share my birth date with the very dignified strong and no-nonsense Mrs Sonia Gandhi. I want to wish her good health and peace of mind.”<\/p>\n
