Speculation had arisen Force India were struggling to make ends meet, in particular with Mallya&rsquo;s Kingfisher Airlines in debt to the tune of &pound;830 million. It was expected, in order to assist his ailing airline, Mallya would potentially pull the plug on his interests in Force India. <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2012/may/Vijay-Mallya.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 517px; " /> Vijay Mallya Dismissing the gossip, Mallya said: &ldquo;Now what you read, and what you gather from what you read, is something I don&rsquo;t care to comment on. But I have sporting interests, and I&rsquo;m passionately involved in all of them.u00a0&ldquo;Sahara Force India is independent, fully funded and is a joint venture between the Sahara Group and myself. &ldquo;There was a significant capital infusion at the end of last year, there will be another from the Sahara Group next year. With regard to my other sporting interests, I was at every IPL cricket game, as every passionate Indian would be. My team (Royal Challengers Bangalore) performed well, although it was a little disappointing at the end.u00a0&ldquo;We had been semi-finalists for four years running, but we were fifth this year.&rdquo;u00a0

Force India co-owner Vijay Mallya is adamant he is as passionate as ever about his Formula One team and insists the funds are in place for their long-term survival.
