“Politics excites me. I cannot say no to politics because I have been born and brought up in that atmosphere. Politics flows in my blood. So in the later days of my life, I will eventually walk that path, but for now, movies are my priority,” says the 28-year-old.

Talking about his acting career, Chirag, who is making his debut with Tanveer Khan directed, One And Only, opposite Kangana Ranaut, says, “Since I was a little kid, I wanted to see myself on the big screen. Today, I’m living my dream.” And how was it working with Kangana? “She’s more like a mentor on the sets,” he says.
