EXCLUSIVE: “I got offers 10 years back and I still get offers”- Sonu Sood on joining politics

It’s not new for actors to join active politics. In the past, several A-list actors have entered politics and have been successful as well. So, when we asked Sonu Sood if he would like to be a part of politics, the actor said, “As an actor, I still have a long way to go. The dreams with which I came, those are yet incomplete. I feel it's necessary to fulfil that first. There is no particular time to enter into politics, there is no fixed period for it. Can join after 5 years or 10 years. I got offers 10 years back, I still get offers. But, I am not interested.”

“I think I should do things which I am an expert at and can do justice. If I am given a responsible position and I am unable to go to villages and towns to help people then what is the point. So, when I can become a part of them and live with them and serve them, then I will think about it. For now, as an actor there is a lot that needs to be done, a lot has to be achieved, there is time for the rest,” he added.

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15.

In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track.
