In an interview, he said, "One amusing offer (cameto me) for a bit part in a Salman Khan-starrer from a rather famous director. Ican always cherish these moments. It was to play the role of an Indian foreignminister in a sequence and the advice I was given by a good friend was, ‘If youwant to be the foreign minister, don’t play the foreign minister.’ I thoughtthat made sense and I backed off.”
He also addressed apopular urban myth about him, which suggested that he appeared briefly inanother Salman Khan-starrer, Andaz Apna Apna. He laughed and said that therewas no way it was him, “(Because) by then, I was already working several yearsin the United Nations.”
