Creativity comes with a streak of madness!
I was the first from the film industry to oppose the Emergency.
Our entire political system is rotten. The level of poverty in India is appalling because we haven't grown as a democracy. What sort of a democracy would allow tribal areas to exist, and encourage slogans of minorities and Dalits? Why should a Dalit be proud to be called a Dalit?
Sometimes outstanding films do no business and sometimes films which are not so good work.
I wish I could play a musical instrument or dance. If I were both - a great musician as well as a great dancer - there's no doubt I'd have conquered the world.
