"The biggest problem we’re facing now is the rise of influencers who are taking up space meant for trained actors."
"Talent is being replaced by ‘likes’ and the number of social media followers. The essence of the art is being lost. And in the process, true talent is overlooked."
"I’ve never seen myself as a celebrity. I’m an actress. My job is to embody a character and bring it to life with honesty and depth."
"I think when we are born, we all have a journey that is set out for us. My journey was set on this route to be on stage whether it is through acting, singing or dancing."
"My problems were that I wanted something that was deep inside of me and I could not explain it to anybody- nobody could understand. They thought I was a crazy child. ‘What’s wrong with you?’ is what they would say but there was something and when I was finally put on stage, that’s when I would come alive, then I was the happiest child."
"We all have a purpose in this world."
"There must be a purpose for doing something or going somewhere because we all have a set timetable and tools that are specific to our personal journeys. You are here because God has a certain task at hand for you. You are the ruler of your purpose."
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.

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.
