'Our country is like what we are'

What is your dream for India?

I am too small to dream for something so big. If all of us, in our own capacities, keep doing the right things, India will be dream-like. I don't think I am in any position, and I find it very strange when lot of people through SMSes and interviews talk about what I think my country should be like.

So if you can tell me that what you are going to be like tomorrow and stick to it, then our country will be like that tomorrow. That's the micro aspect of it. Collectively, if all the one billion people start thinking like that, what one person says doesn't make a difference, we just need to do it.

Given your large appeal, do you ever see yourself entering politics?

Given my large appeal is the reason I will never enter politics.

Why, do you think politics is a bad word?

No, no, it is not that, I think appealing people should be movie actors, should not be politicians.

Do you see yourself as an entertainer or as a movie actor?

I call myself a performer. I undermine my own position because in spite of people thinking I am arrogant, I like to tell you there's no magic to being an actor, a movie star, King Khan or Badhah or performer or an entertainer. I do a job, and it's just that. If I started talking seriously about what I do, people will take me more seriously. But the truth of the matter is that I do a job like everyone else does.
