We need to change ourselves first: Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan, who flew back from South Africa to Mumbai to cast his vote today, shares his personal vision for India.

Need for direction
"We need to channelize the youth energy in the right way. We also need to be secure with our language and religion. If my religion is good, that doesn't mean I will make fun of a different religion."

Be the best to deserve the best
To change things around us, we need to change ourselves first. We have to see if we can be the best law abiding citizens of the country. And also take action and exercise your choice. Only then we can have the right to criticize or support someone who is aiming to lead the country.

One at a time please
We have to support the voting system, and give one best party a chance. Let it rule for five years and be accountable to us. Coalitions and alliances don't work. If they are insecure, it doesn't work.

A young India
I believe in the youth. I am a very positive thinker and I believe in the power and sensitivity of young people. I think the youth is going to be very sensitive to the changing scenario around the globe and will put their best foot forward in making the whole planet a better place.

Heart and soul
I am glad that our country is not yet mechanized and plastic like a lot of other countries around the world. We need to be proud of our country, in spite of the bad roads, potholes etc. Lets be proud of what we have, as there is a lot to be proud of.

Get the ideology right
The whole ideology of governance should be economic development and achievement of security and education. There is no other ideology or agenda - there's no relevance of Islam, Hinduism or Christianity here.
