“He said Mr. Sethna, what are you? I said I’m a human being. That is my very first reaction. He said, then what are you. I said then… I’m an Indian. Because I happen to have been born in India.  He says and then what are you. Then I suppose, I am a Zoroastrian, or if you like, a Parsi. He said and then what are you? So I said, then my profession. I’m a filmmaker. So he said, well done Mr. Sethna, well done. You have answered my question.”
