Big
B
On
Rajiv
Gandhi
While
speaking
to
Rediff,
when
Big
B
was
asked
if
Rajiv
Gandhi
was
his
best
friend,
he
had
said,
"I
would
say,
yes."
When
asked
how
he
got
the
news,
he
said,
"I
was
in
London,
and
when
I
got
back
in
the
afternoon,
I
got
the
news.
It
was
shocking
to
say
the
least.
I
made
preparations
to
get
back
to
Delhi
as
soon
as
possible."
Here's
How
Big
B
Reacted
To
His
Demise
When
asked
how
he
reacted
to
Rajiv
Gandhi's
sudden
demise,
he
said,
"You
forget
how
you
react
in
moments
like
this.
But
you
go
through
a
sense
of
numbness.
I
tried
to
contact
his
family
which
was
my
first
reaction.
I
tried
to
contact
my
own
family
which
was
my
second
reaction.
Then,
the
next
thing
was
to
gather
everybody
and
to
go
back
home."
Big
B
On
Lasting
Memory
Of
Rajiv
Gandhi
Calling
Gandhi
a
very
noble
and
decent
human
being,
Big
B
said
that
he
was
the
most
unsuited
person
for
the
politics.
"I
myself
opted
out
of
that
because
of
these
reasons.
I
think
it
was
easier
for
me
to
do
it
than
for
him," added
the
Pink
actor.
Big
B
Was
Always
Skeptical
About
Politics
Speaking
further
about
his
deceased
best
friend,
Big
B
said,
"His
commitment
was
more
resolute
and
one
admired
him
for
it.
But
basically
he
was
a
good
human
being,
and
I
don't
think
that
politics
is
really
a
good
place
for
good
human
beings."
Big
B
On
Alleged
Rift
With
The
Gandhis
When
asked
about
the
rumours
that
he
does
not
share
a
warm
equation
with
the
Gandhis,
Big
B
had
said,
"No,
we
have
always
been
friends.
And
we
will
continue
to
be
friends."
