Politicking hasn't slowed down Paresh Rawal's Bollywood outings. The veteran actor says life is all about juggling various roles, and striking a balance. The Bharatiya Janata Party MP visits his constituency, Ahmedabad East, at least four times in three months. "I shuffle between Mumbai and Ahmedabad. I come from a theatre background, so, I am used to hopping from city-to-city for shows."

Presently, Rawal is promoting his next, Rajkumar Hirani's Sanju. Sanjay Dutt's biopic sees him play the late Sunil Dutt. We meet Rawal at Hirani's office on the Andheri-Kurla road. The air conditioner isn't working properly. It's hot, but he isn't perturbed. He is used to finding himself in sticky situations — literally, in this case — especially after entering politics in 2014. Social media savvy, he often finds himself trolled for taking on the opposition. "Now, everything's out in the open. You can discuss about any topic," he reasons. Last seen in Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), Rawal says, off late, he picks films he genuinely wants to invest time in.
