"I also want to be the go-to person for young, aspiring actors who need help to grow. I’m also willing to partner with passionate creatives who genuinely want to grow in this industry."
"I still feel like I’m building the legacy as I haven’t achieved the things I thought I’d be or have at this age. However, my main focus is being a true artist who is willing to sharpen his skills and willing to learn"
"It was not easy to see acting as the career to go for in my times. It wasn’t perceived as one where you’d make it, like Ntate John Kani and the peers of his age. There wasn’t a clear light through the tunnel that I too could become an actor"

- 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.
