They should know that I am simply not cut out for politics nor am I educated in political science. I don’t think I am competent enough to lead the masses ideologically in a certain direction,” he says.
He feels more comfortable promoting a social initiative, “More than politics, I would be ever-willing to spearhead a social cause, as long as it is done with genuine intentions. I have worked for the welfare of orphans, destitute children, thalassemia patients and children of sex workers in the past and I would be happy to take my social interests further. But politics is definitely not my cup of tea,” he says.
