"At home, we cooked the traditional way, with a unique Saurashtrian curry powder, used for all kinds of gravies. Mutton was the main dish — as a kid, I remember eating mutton for breakfast, lunch and dinner. By the time, I hit my teens, I was fed up with the mutton overdose."
"I have been body shamed. My body’s size and complexion have often been ridiculed and stared at by people. At the same time, a lot of people loved me for my body. So I am never unhappy about my beautiful body. I clearly know that it was my physical appeal rather than my acting skills which made me achieve all these. For the same reason, many have deceived me making false promises."
"I literally starved for months. Getting a bikini body is not a joke, as you need to get that structure first to sport one. I hope I look good, and it has come out really well. I never thought I could put it off."
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.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
