Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar shared that in different circumstances, he may have become an actor.
On a day India dazzled the world at the Oscars, MPs paused work to praise the makers of "The Elephant Whisperers" and RRR's Naatu Naatu song. During these commendations, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar shared that in different circumstances, he may have become an actor.
"If I hadn't become a lawyer, I would definitely have been into acting," Mr Dhankhar, 71, said in Rajya Sabha during a Special Mention on India's Oscar winners.
He spoke after MDMK leader Vaiko expressed pride that a second Oscar came home to Tamil Nadu after AR Rahman's win in 2009.
Mr Dhankhar's comment set off laughter and loud comments from the opposition benches. "If that were the case, the sentiments that we are expressing now, we would have done the same for you," a Congress MP quipped.
