However, it was the 1976 film Kalicharan, directed by Subhash Ghai, that brought him the success he needed as a leading hero. After Kalicharan, Shotgun never looked back. Though Shatrughan Sinha appears less frequently in films today, he remains highly active in politics. Recently, Shatrughan Sinha had an insightful conversation with senior journalist Bharathi S. Pradhan for Lehren, during which he revealed why his Mumbai bungalow is named Ramayana.

00:31I was not ready to become a compounder.
00:33Many people used to say, how did father know?
00:36That there are only four sons.
00:38That is why he named Ram, Lakhan, Bharat, Shatrughna.
00:47We are sitting in Ramayan.
00:48Hmm.
00:49This is very unique.
00:51Very, very unique.
00:53unique. Anukha hai ki ek parivaar mein Ram, Lakhan, Bharat and Kshatrughan. Chaar
01:01bete aise naam ke hai. How did your parents think of this?
01:05Bata nahi kaise, wo bhi lagta hai, bahut confidence tha. Pehle toh koi santan nahi
01:10thi. Santan, ab aapki kitab mein bhi likha hai. Lekin wo, ek Varanasi mein abhi bhi
01:17hoga. Acha hai, ek bandi tha, Ram Ramapati Bank. Aur America se, America jaane ke pehle,
01:28unhone. Kaun aapki pitaji? Mere pitaji. America se unhone B.Sc. M.Sc. kiya tha. Kansas se
01:36aur Pennsylvania State University se. Lekin uske pehle unhone, jab santan praapti nahi
01:43ho rahi thi toh, jo hum logo bataya gaya hai, toh Ram Ramapati Bank mein shayad, sawa sawa
01:49lakh Ram naama rojh likhna padhta tha. Woh arzi deni padhti thi. Woh arzi kar swikar
01:55ho gayi, toh chaar takke, chaar putra praapti ki aapki sambhavna aapki arzi manzoor hoti
02:03thi. Uske baad, agar aur aap kehte toh, laalaj manan jata tha. Greed. Toh aisa log kehte
02:10hai, wahi pe jo ne pooja paath kiya maawaapne aur sawa sawa lakh Ram naama rojh likhna aasaan
02:18nahi hota. Aasaan nahi hai. Woh karke aur woh kaise wahan jamaa kiya, kaise arzi manzoor
02:25hui. Aur ekdum jo sawal aapne kiya, bahot log kehte the, kaise pata tha pitaji ko? Correct.

02:43chaar bete hai. Isi le log kahe, ghar ka naama Ramayan kaise, Ramayan isliye hui. Main actually
02:48poochne wali thi ki, idea kiska tha, ki aapne jab bungalow banaya, uska naam Ramayan hona
02:55chahiye, kiska idea tha? Mane logon ne kaha, ki so ye toh parivaar hai, jiske chaar bhai
03:01nahi hai, aap log chaar bete hai. Aur Ram, Lakhan, Bharat, Shatrughna. Toh isse Ramayan
03:07se badhi hai, aur kya naam ho sakta hai? Absolutely, bilkul perfect hai. Ramayan ki characters
03:11hai, Ramayan se aate hain saare. Bilkul perfect hai. Toh isliye haan, toh isliye baisa rakha
03:16hai. Aur dekhiye tafaq, ki jab yahaan pe hume bachon ka phal mila, putra prapti hui,
03:25huma beton ka roop mein. Toh isse pehle hum faisla karte, sab logon ne, media ne, saare
03:32logon ne, ki love kush ka, is arrival of love and kush in Ramayan. Toh aise hua, yeh karke.
03:41Ek ittafaq hai, isko sanjog kahenge, prayog nahi kahenge. That's true. Sunoo ji, aapka
03:52image, jab aap acting karte the pehle pehle, toh aapka image tha of very macho, he man,

04:09yeh bhi sahi hai na, ki aapka jo influence raha hai, aapki zindagi mein, sabse zyada
04:16women have influenced you more than anybody else, na. Jaise ki your mother, jaise ki
04:23Mumtaz, matlab every corner of your life, every turn. Hamesha ek aurat ka haath raha
04:33hai aapki. Bilkul. Hain na? Haan, amma ka bahot hi haath raha hai. Bahua bolti thi
04:41aur star ban gaye, so called a star ban gaye, ghar jaate the, patna jaate the, hamesha jaana
04:48laga raha hai. Aur itni bahar bheer lagi rahati thi, dekhne ke liye. Log aate the,
04:52pyaar karte the, unko bahut fakar bhi hota tha, Bihar se pehli baar ko itna bada star
04:58banaya, toh unko achcha lakta tha. Toh, lekin wahan bhi wo saamne aake kahi baar bolti
05:03thi, ki jao wo samaan leke raho bahar se, bahua. Arrey humne ka, main samaan leke
05:10raha hai, yaha toh crowd samala nahi jaa raha hai. Aur bahar kaise jao sakta hai,

05:29nahi maan deta. Lekin aap prabhavit huye thi na unse? Bahut zyada. She influenced you
05:33a lot, na? Hmm? She influenced you a lot, na? Bahut zyada, bahut zyada. In fact,
05:39jab aap FTII Pune ke liye nikal rahe the, toh aapke pita ji na khush tha. But your
05:46mother was very supportive, na? Unko jaayiye aap bilkul. Ab jo rasta chun diya
05:52hai aapne, toh yeh hi hoga aapko. Aap jaayiye aap. Mudh ke huye, hum jab FTII jaa
05:58rahe the toh, mere pita ji toh bahut disciplined aadmi tha, bahut disciplined.
06:04Chaam ke 6 baje, saraye 6 baje khaana kha lena, raat ke 9, saraye 9 baje so jaana,

06:14Toh wo toh, Amerika ke the, padhe leke leke, uske baad wo disciplined the bahut, aur
06:20ikdum jaldi so jaate the, khaana. Toh unhone kaha ki nahi. Aur, gadi thi humare pa,
06:26car. Kar nahi di, wahan jaane ke liye. Station jaane ke liye. Station jaane ke liye.
06:32Toh struggle pe jaa rahe hai, aap yeh kya acting ke kya course hota hai?
06:36Aap kya banenge acting? Joker banenge, kya banenge? Unko samajh mein nahi aaya ki
06:40acting ke training kya hoti hai. Isliye mere, jo uspe, form pe likhna hota hai,
06:46parents ka, parents, father or the, usse main parent nahi hota hai, father or the guardian.
06:54Ab toh shayad maa ka bhi hota hoga, hota hai aur achi baat hai. Toh father or the guardian.
07:00Toh father ne kaha ki nahi, main ispe sign nahi karunga. Hala ke baad mein muspe bohot
