Speaking to ANI about the importance of Yoga in his life, the Sholay actor said, "Yoga can cure many diseases. If you have breathing problems, remember that health is wealth."

He also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for introducing this initiative and stated, "I think Modi ji started it, and before that, Ramdev ji also began this movement. Many people from other countries wanted to patent it, but it didn't happen. This is our civilisation, our culture, which has been going on for centuries. And it is necessary."
