I can go back to poverty if a situation comes. I have sailed through the worst days of my life, and I am prepared for any crisis.

I am from a family of farmers from Budhana near Muzaffarnagar.

Looks is a matter of perception. At Cannes, Europeans think I am good looking, while in India, I am not.

Most people go to ashrams or retreats to destress and rejuvenate themselves. But I come back to my roots, the place where I spent half my life. And when I return, I spend time in the farms, eating a stalk of sugarcane, driving a tractor, and chilling with childhood friends.

There was electricity in our village only for 2-3 hours a day, so all my life, I studied under a lamp.

I am what I am, I'm doing very well in my life, and I'm thankful to God for that.
