'The loudest way to tell the world to shut up is to show results' goes a saying. Actor Shiney Ahuja has proved it right and is a name that needs no introduction now. His work speaks volumes...He speaks about beauty, India, his likes, dislikes etc...
Most cherished moments of your school or college days?
It was when I got my first bike. My dad had told me that if I was able to get the required grades in my 12th boards, he would buy me a bike and it was an investment he was pretty sure he would not have to make. I guess I surprised both him and myself.
Your take on black magic, superstitions and ghosts?
I am not superstitious. As for black magic and ghosts, I am not sure I can negate their presence. While there is no evidence that proves their existence, there is no evidence that proves that they do not exist.
Beauty or brains?
I think that it is natural human instinct to want and admire physical beauty. And, it definitely opens doors, particularly in my profession. However, there is a power in knowledge and the ability to use that knowledge that truly makes one happy. I think if I had to choose between physical beauty and this happiness, I would have to choose knowledge, with all due respect and gratefulness for 'Beauty' - a joy forever!
If you could change one thing about India, what would it be and why?
Education system - Rather by rote, our education system should allow for interactive sessions where students are given the platform to think and apply knowledge. Also, we should have emphasis and opportunities provided for what is termed extracurricular activities - sports/drama/music etc because we have an amazing pool of talent, and our education system should be geared to liberate it to its full potential.
