My father was very clear; I had to have an ordinary upbringing. I was put to work as a lowly-paid trainee after college. I didn't like it at the time, but I can't help but feel that that was probably the best thing for me.

Whenever I do something, it is rooted in the Indian opportunity.

I do not believe in hypocrisy.

I live the way I want to live, and I don't comment on the way that other people live.

Our culture in India is not a culture where we grudge each other.

One of India's biggest advantages is our young demographic and that we have a youthful population that is indeed our future.

I think it is better when people with their own businesses and means of income join politics as there is some degree of honesty and integrity.
