Q4. The latest Saamna piece comparing your situation with Rajnikanth must have hurt too. Although Bal Thackeray issued a clarification, the damage was done.
ANS4. I feel honoured that I have a friend in Rajnikant and even more honoured that, despite my insignificance, I am brought into comparison with him. Bala Saheb has been a father figure to us and shall remain so, ever. In my growing up years my parents taught me that 'when elders speak, the young listen quietly'. I quietly accept whatever my elder or his outfit has expressed.
