Although the irrepressible Shatrughan Sinha and Prime Minister Narendra Modi ceased to be political allies many years ago, Sinha continues to express his highest regard for the PM.
Shatrughan Sinha hails PM Modi at 75: “He will always be the real action hero of our country”
“Is he really 75? He doesn’t look a day older than 50. His dynamism and his visionary personality are remarkable. And so, what if we are no longer political allies? We are bonded by our mutual reverence for our mentors Shri L. K. Advani and Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. I may not be on the same ideological platform as PM Modi, but to me he will always be the real action hero of our country,” Sinha said warmly.
As a former political colleague, Sinha acknowledges Modi’s reformative zeal. “He is a tried-and-tested leader. He has done the country proud during his tenure as Prime Minister. We share a great professional rapport, though we may not be that close on a personal level. It’s become fashionable to declare oneself a close friend of Narendra Modiji. I don’t think he has any close friends — not even the incomparable Mr. Trump.”
The actor-politician is also open to the idea of a worthy biopic on the Prime Minister, though he believes it comes with certain conditions. “PM Modi has a certain national and international stature, and only an actor of equal stature should play him. I would say myself or Naseeruddin Shah would have been ideal. Mr. Bachchan too — but he’s too tall to play Mr. Modi,” Sinha quipped.
