Mumbai: Rahul Mahajan has been bitten by the acting bug. After leaving the Bigg Boss house, the most popular inmate of the reality show says that he will now make his career by acting in Bollywoood films.

"Working in Bollywood is what I see myself doing. I've to make a living. And that would be through the entertainment industry. But no matter what I do, I'd remain the same Rahul in blue jeans and white shirts. I want people to love and respect me," Rahul told IANS in an interview.

Rahul, the son of late Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Pramod Mahajan, says he is flooded with acting offers.

"A lot of acting offers are coming my way. Do you know my mom and dad were stage actors? And they met for the first time on stage. That's how they fell in love. I think both politics and acting are in my blood," Rahul said.

Here is an excerpt from the interview:

Q. Now you're out of Bigg Boss what do you want to do with your life?

Rahul Mahajan: Working in Bollywood is what I see myself doing. That would be a professional decision. A lot of people ask if I'd be joining politics but politics is not a business. If I've to do it for the country's sake, I'd do it. But I've to make a living. And that would be through the entertainment industry. But no matter what I do, I'd remain the same Rahul in blue jeans and white shirts. I want people to love and respect me.

Q. Which turns you on more, politics or acting?

Rahul Mahajan: A lot of acting offers are coming my way. Do you know my mom and dad were stage actors? And they met for the first time on stage. That's how they fell in love. I asked my dad why he wasn't in the movies. He was going to do a movie once. I teased him, 'Why are you promoting yourself, when you should be promoting me in movies?' I think both politics and acting are in my blood.

Q. Since you didn't need money, why did you go into Bigg Boss?

Rahul Mahajan: First of all, everyone needs money to survive. But I had bigger issues on hand. I needed to go in there to show people the real Rahul Mahajan. I wanted people to stop judging me without knowing who I was. This is what people were doing before I went in the house.
