In a recent conversation with Neelesh Mishra for his Slow Interview, Paresh Rawal talked about how there should be state patronisation for a few artists. He said, “There should be state patronisation for a few artists. They should not worry about their livelihood. Even in yesteryears, kings used to do it. This should happen now too. Artistes should only focus on their art.” Paresh even mentioned the late actor Irrfan Khan and praised him for his work.

Going further in the interview, Paresh Rawal took a dig at a few actors and mentioned that for them expensive cars are status symbols rather than their work. He shared, “Humaare kalakaar bhi thodi fael jaate hain. An expensive car is not your status symbol. Your work is your status symbol. BMW se utro ya rickshaw se, you are not a lesser actor. It is important for someone who is lacking in talent.”
“Buy it, but only if you can afford it. EMI ka bhojaa uthaane lagoge toh galat hai. Saraswati aur Laxmi ka mel nahi hai,” He further added.
