"I’ve always been a fashion girl. I believe I fell in love with clothes and art as a child. My mum tells that I when I was a child, she would dress me in all sorts of ways; sometimes like a boy but always outstanding. When I got older, I fell in love with art. I enjoyed drawing; I would literally draw everyone at home, from my siblings to my mum"
"No! I have no limit when it comes to style, as long as it’s outstanding and unique. I have this belief that when it comes to art, even an error is art. Anything can make you look unique, as long as it’s styled uniquely, with a story woven within it. I have a feeling I can wear anything actually. It’s a combination of passion and confidence. If you have those two, you can wear anything. Sometimes people have body insecurities, which limits their options in terms of what they can and cannot wear – I’m lucky I don’t have that problem."
"It’s not surprising that I did Industrial Art and Design at school. I was so much more into drawing and painting until I got to University, then I was already ‘Spice Diana’. I had to choose something to do that would help me with the music, and that was fashion. You know when you have art in you, fashion comes naturally. Fashion is now like a full time job – I’m doing it in my music videos, at concerts – everything around me is now art, music and fashion."
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.
