Shatrughan Sinha on Shekhar Suman joining the BJP, “I hope he knows what he is doing”

“This was most unexpected! Shekhar Suman joining the Bharatiya Janata Party at this juncture when the nation is going to the polls, is like gatecrashing into a wedding just when the guests are being served their feast-like meal. Not that it’s any of my concern. Aapne  poochha toh maine keh diya. I’ve no hard feelings for Shekhar. I wish him the very best in whatever he does,” Shatrughan Sinha said about Shekhar Suman’s induction in the haul of flame.

Shatruji who is now a Member of Parliament Lok Sabha from the Asansol constituency as a member of All India Trinamool Congress, wants to wish Shekhar Suman the very best. “I don’t know what has prompted him to take this peculiar plunge while the Lok Sabha elections are on. I hope he knows what he is doing,” said the veteran actor.

Shatruji added, “The timing of his joining the BJP is very intriguing. He has joined a political party, and that too the ruling party, while the Lok Sabha elections are on. Has he forgotten the royal defeat he got from me during Lok Sabha election in May 2009 from Patna Sahib on the Congress ticket? I was then an integral part of the BJP. That was a different BJP. Stalwarts like Shri L K Advani and Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, whom I hero-worshipped, were the face of the Bharatiya Janta Party. Today’s BJP is a different entity altogether. If you know what I mean. The BJP has come a long way. I hope Shekhar Suman knows what he is getting into.”

Interestingly Shekhar Suman and Shatrughan Sinha’s daughter Sonakshi are both a part of the cast in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s spectacular Heeramandi. Reacting to this, the inimitable Shotgun’s parting shot: “Really? Is he in the series? I haven’t seen it yet. I only know my daughter is being praised for her performance.”

23 Years of Lagaan: “A famous painter heard 'O Paalanhaare' and told me, ‘Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist aisa bhajan nahin likh sakta’” - Javed Akhtar

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. 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. At a show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon’, the legendary songwriter opened up about this song and confessed that he got this surprising reaction often.

Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist...
