"Basically, we all have choices to make in life. So, the issue of whether or not to give in to sexual harassment from producers for movie roles is a matter of choice. I was harassed but didn’t give in because I’m not that kind of person. Because if I had given in, I’d have made a big break by now. But it’s not as if I haven’t been getting roles. It’s just that they don’t come as I would want"

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.
