Bollywood celebs in politics

Many people from Bollywood are in politics today, so do you have any plans to enter politics?

Among those who have become politicians from the film industry, except Sunil Dutt Saheb, all others have become politicians for their convenience. Every person has gone into politics because of their benefits, and they are also getting benefits from it.

Will you ever go into politics?

Never. My problem is that I can’t lie, and so I can’t be a politician.

So do you think it is necessary to lie to become a politician?

It is very important. Because in politics you need to keep a lot of people happy.

What if corruption is reduced in India?

I do not agree at all that corruption exists only in India. Corruption is all over the world.

Amjad Khan

Would you agree that corruption in India starts from a small level and goes to a big level?

I believe that it starts from the big level and reaches the small level. There is also a reason for this that is if I am a servant and my master does not drink alcohol or gamble, then I will not have the courage at all to go to work in the house after drinking alcohol and gambling. But if my boss is doing wrong then who can stop me?

Do you think that unless corruption is eliminated from the top, corruption cannot be eliminated in the country?

Of course, it is like cancer, in any case, you have to throw it out of your body, and otherwise, it will keep eating you from within.

Do you think corruption will ever end?

This is difficult.

How much importance do you give to friendship?

I give as much importance to friends as to family members.

Amjad Khan

Can you do everything for a friend?

Yes, if necessary, we can even sacrifice our lives for it.

Have you ever done this?

For friends, it has happened many times that I have almost died. But I don’t want to say anything about it, because if I do then our friendship will end.

Have you ever had a friend who took advantage of your friendship?

Yes, I have met many like this. You ask whether you have ever met anyone who has not taken advantage. Such people do not remain your friends for long.
