I think the Indian model of respecting the uniqueness of each religion and, of every state is what makes the country great.

I can't play Mahatma Gandhi.

The advantage my looks gave me was that I wasn't limited to just playing Indian roles when I was abroad, and I've been abroad for almost twenty-five years.

There's a big difference between how the Anglo-Saxon world views India, or viewed India, and the way Europe views India.

You are probably right when you say that I could get a role in any producer's film if I just asked.

Different nations have different ways of forming their national identity. In America, for instance, the model was one of homogeneity breaking from different backgrounds, and the whole effort was to blend them all together like a wonderful making of a milkshake!

You see, I have many friends in the Hindi film industry.
