"We are not poor people. Take a good look at me and you would behold an evidence of good living."
"I am an actress and I will always be an actress because it is my passion. If you give me a role to play, I will read my script and play it very well like a talented actress that I am."
"I enjoy the fact that I make people happy, put smiles on people’s faces and I satisfy the hosts and guests."
"I don’t believe people look at me in a funny way. I think they admire me. People can easily identify me with my style, it’s my style and I love it. Not all women can tie their head-gears themselves.

Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
