“I like a brave and honest politician,” Khan said when asked about political leaders like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi, and Aam Aadmi Party’s Arvind Kejriwal. According to Khan, all of them are brave politicians who can lead India into the future.

However, Khan highlighted Gandhi’s journey, noting that the Congress leader has managed to change the perception people had of him. “What Rahul Gandhi has done is very impressive because there was a time when people were disrespecting the things he was doing or saying. He has turned that around by working very hard,” Khan said.

While discussing politics, Khan also commented on the strength of Indian democracy but did not elaborate further on his political opinions.
