Seeing Travolta’s love for India, noted Indo-American statesman Rajan Zed has urged him to explore the rich and diverse philosophical thought India offered and the wisdom embedded in it. It would be a wonderful experience for Travolta to understand the nature of reality Indian thought presented, Zed, who is Chairperson of Indo-American Leadership Confederation, added.
During his various media conversations, Travolta also reportedly added that he would love to work in Bollywood and would enjoy singing and dancing in Bollywood. It felt like being at home, he said about his India visit. He argued that the reason he liked the Bollywood industry because the films were family oriented.
