“Going Back Is Not In My DNA”, Shatrughan Sinha Clears The Air

An innocuous tweet in defence  of PM Modi’s government had  tongues wagging in the  power corridors. A  friend  from the ruling party  ribbed me, “Your friend Shatrughan Sinha is  coming back . Laut ke  buddhu ghar ko aaye.”

“Buddhu  woh jo  yeh samjha ke main wapas aa raha hoon(anyone who things  I’m getting back to the BJP is  a fool). Once  I make  up my mind  nothing can make me change it. This  silly  rumour started when  I  tweeted something quite innocent about our beloved  Prime  Minister. Logon ne   baal ki khaal  nikalni shuroo kar di,” laughs  Shatrughan Sinha  heartily.

“Aise kaise  laut jaoonga? I am committed  to  the Congress now. That’s where I will remain.Jeena  yahan marn yahan isske  siva  jaana kahan?”

The Covid  lockdown has been an  eyeopener for Shatruji. “More than an eyeopener it  is a mind-opener.It has shown me  the value  of the family. Though family-time too must be restricted. You can’t be  together  all the time just because you have the opportunity to  do so. Everyone needs his or her own space.For the  first time in  years I’ve had time to  retrospect.”
