In an interview with NDTV India, Shatrughan Sinha also stated how the film industry has been the ‘hot spot’ to divert any attention from the ongoing scenario in the country.

“Chunauti ho ya na ho, aisa zaroor hona chahiye. Mera shuru se maanna hai, main toh preach aur practice karta hoon, anti-tobacco campaign karta hoon. Main humesha kehta hoon, ‘say no to drugs and shun tobacco’ (Whether it is challenging or not, it must happen. I practise what I preach, I am a part of anti-tobacco campaigns. I always say, ‘say no to drugs and shun tobacco’),” Shatrughan told NDTV.

The actor also considers himself lucky that his children, including Bollywood actor Sonakshi Sinha, has got good upbringing and credits his wife for sacrificing her career.

“Aaj main iss maamle mein bhagyashaali samajhta hoon ki mere bachche hai, Luv-Kush aur meri beti Sonakshi, main inn bachchon ke baare mein bohot fakhr se keh sakta hoon ki inki upbringing itni achchi hui hai ki inko kisi kism ki aisi koi habit ya aise maamle mein na unko kabhi suna hai, na dekha hai, na paaya hai, na woh karte hai aisi koi harkat (I consider myself lucky that my children – Luv, Kush and Sonakshi… I can proudly say that their upbringing is so good that they don’t have any such habit. I have never heard of them being associated with or seen them doing such things),”he said.

“Baaki parents ko bhi zaroor khyaal rakhna chahiye ke apne bache loneliness ka shikaar horahe hai, ya galat company me zyada waqt guzaar raha hai, ya aisi harkatein kar raha hai jo anvanchit hai, jo nahi hona chaye, toh zaahir hai ke parents ne kam se kam ek time ka khana toh apne bachcho ke saath zaroor khaaye (Parents should ensure that their kids are not battling loneliness, or they are not in the wrong company, or they are not doing something that isn’t good. Parents should make sure that they at least have one meal with their kids),” he added.

Aryan Khan was arrested in the Mumbai cruise drugs case on October 3, 2021.
