“I would have loved to campaign for him,but he does not want people to vote for him on my name,” says Ashutosh making a statement on his family background,which encourages values and discourages compromise.

“I neither run after roles nor I am comfortable with doing just anything that comes my way,” he says when asked about his absence from the big screen.

“I may not be doing many films but people remember me for the few roles I have done,” says Ashutosh,in town to promote Sarkaar Ki Duniya,the reality show being aired on REAL.

About the show,Ashutosh says,“Unlike Big Boss with which the comparison is obvious because of the format,the participants are exposed to real life situations and that brings out the best in them and turns them into extraordinary individuals,” says Ashutosh.

Happy but not satisfied with his film career,Ashutosh,a disciple of spiritual Guru Daddaji,says being happy matters more. “I live in the present and never plan the future,” the star spells out his contentment mantra.

Listing his upcoming movies – Hook or Crook’,Shahid Nanak Singh and Monika,Ashutosh promises more performance-oriented serials. “I have done a number of television shows and am open to them as long as my role is convincing,” he says,acknowledging Mahesh Bhatt’s contribution to his career. “He is the one who trusted me when I was nobody,” he says,claiming he won’t mind doing any role for his mentor.

And what about his wife Renuka Shahane? “She is at home,relaxing after directing a Marathi movie ‘Sita’,” says Ashutosh.
