He goes on to add, "I lie and cheat and do deceit for a living. I’m an actor. I’m all show, nothing really concrete inside me," Khan says. "I’d like to say I have a huge amount of respect for people who run the country, who have it in their hearts to run the country. It’s a very selfless service. Let’s not take money under the table, you know, let’s not do shady stuff. If we do it right we’re all gonna make money, we’re all gonna be happy, we’ll all be a great and very proud nation."
The video pans on reactions of some of the guests, which also included former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who smile and start applauding while Khan concludes, "So my advice to all the politicians is,please be as honest as realistically possible!" The audience, at this point, breaks into applause, appreciating Khan's wholesome answer.
