“In politics, we don’t know if there would be a tomorrow or not. Similarly in life also the motto should be to live life to the fullest and in the present,” Salman Khurshid told the media here. Speaking about Indo-German relations, Khurshid said, “Our cultures have similar roots, though we can learn a lot from the German people, such as their discipline.” Michael Steiner said it was a lot of hard work for him as he does not know Hindi.

“It was a challenge. These actors are masters and I had to imitate them. I realised that you cannot imitate Shah Rukh Khan. He is such a perfect actor. We wanted to show our respect to Bollywood and these fantastic actors. They are very popular in Germany” said Michael Steiner. “Bollywood is a cultural institution. This is the one instrument to connect to the world and it is a very good instrument. My wife and I are Bollywood addicts. We have seen over 150 Bollywood films,” he added. The premiere of the music – “Lebe Zetzt- Kal Ho Naa Ho” was attended by actress Sharmila Tagore, Saif Ali Khan, Javed Akhtar, Madhu Kishwar and director Sumit Osmand Shaw.
