00:00My Hindu religion, I follow that and I don't say that I want to impose it on anybody.
00:05The milk that I had to offer there, I didn't do it there.
00:09That is one discussion we try and avoid it because there's no point.
00:24I've seen so many times, you're a deeply religious person.
00:28You used to go to Vaishnodevi, after that you've been seen so many, and much before
00:34this trend started, before the release of the film, people used to go to Golden Temple.
00:40I used to go even before the release of the film.
00:42You used to go, right?
00:44Even before, after, you've been going continuously.
00:46Now, a new controversy has started where one politician turned around and said that Sanatan Dharma is like a virus.
00:56And people got very angry.
00:58But it's a, it's a thinking and we are a democracy.
01:01He's welcome to have his views.
01:03But as a practicing Hindu, do people come and tell you this,
01:08that you should not follow the rules and regulations of Sanatan Dharma.
01:14You should be...
01:15No, nobody says that.
01:16I don't think anybody dares to say it.
01:18And I'm a complete believer of my Hindu.
01:22I'm a Hindu.
01:23My mother, my father, they've taught me that way.
01:26My Hindu Dharma, it's, I follow that.
01:30And I don't say that I want to impose it on anybody.
01:34But I just want to follow it.
01:35If Dharma is so important for you, in your family, does everybody have the same kind of...
01:41Because see, the reason I'm saying it is that these questions are coming up in India today.
01:46Like many people say, yes, Dadaji is strict, I'm not.
01:51It happens in families.
01:52It happens in families.
01:53Yes, it happens in families.
01:54Do these conversations happen?
01:56No, we don't impose each other.
01:59Like my wife's thinking about politics is different than me.
02:03So, we don't impose on each other.
02:05But we are completely different.
02:08But there are discussions.
02:09That is one discussion we try and avoid it because there's no point.
02:13You know, there's no point of having a discussion on that.
02:18Because something which you know, the other person thinks it this way and I think it this way.
02:23And we want to live happily.
02:25So, there are things sometimes they say that never to put anything under the carpet.
02:32I say sometimes it is important because that particular thing,
02:37it has no solution.
02:38Take it and put it under the carpet.
02:40And live happily.
02:48I'll tell you, I just went to Somnath Mandir.
02:58Yes.
02:59The milk which I had to offer there, I didn't do it there.
03:03I have given it to the trust and told them to give it to the needy outside.
03:11Because that will be useful to someone.
03:15Whether it is oil or milk.
03:19It will go to someone's house.
03:21It will go to someone's stomach.
03:23There were so many people there.
03:25Who needs that?
03:26So, our practices and...
03:28Whatever I have said, I am still...
03:30See, I am not saying that you also do it.
03:34Whatever I am doing, you asked me and I told you.
03:38I went there yesterday.
03:40Whatever milk I had to offer, I gave it.
03:43I said, you give it to someone's house.
03:45Give it to some people.
03:47Whatever oil you had to offer, give it.
