Had to pay a price for my honesty: Shatrughan Sinha

Actor-turned-politician Shatrughan Sinha said he had to “pay a price” for his honesty in both his political and acting career.

Recalling his short stint as the Union Minister for Health and Family Welfare under the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, Sinha said, “I started an anti-tobacco campaign when I was the Health minister. I do not know whether it is true, but people say that I was shunted from health to shipping because the tobacco lobby was against me.”
