When he was asked by some reporters whether he would consider joining politics at a later stage he spontaneously replied – No! Like all young boys, his father is his super hero who has solutions to all problems and like all superheroes, he is capable of single handedly managing the opponents. He says, “My dad is enough for his opponents. Papa mein hai dum (my dad has the power)”. Pulkit takes immense pride in his father.
