In a candid conversation Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde spoke with actor and TV host Maniesh Paul. They covered various topics, including the CM's childhood dreams and plans for making Mumbai free of potholes. Additionally, during the interview, the CM shared thoughts on Anil Kapoor's role in "Nayak: The Real Hero" (2001).
When quizzed about his childhood aspirations and whether he aimed to become a chief minister or drew inspiration from Anil's movie Nayak, the CM responded, "Movies are movies, reality is reality, so there's nothing like that." He acknowledged appreciating the proactive stance of Anil's character in Nayak, as Maniesh commended the politician for swiftly addressing issues with immediate decisions.
