Big B declines proposed Presidency

It looks like the nation will have to find another high-profile candidate for presidency. Amitabh Bachchan says that he's just not interested .

The news that a political party intends to field the Big B as its candidate for presidency has the mega-star touched but firm in his resolution to stay out of politics. Says Big B, "I'm deeply humbled and touched by the thought. But I'm not worthy of such a distinguished post of responsibility. Besides no such offer or proposal has come my way yet."

He also adds, "I've constantly maintained politics is not my cup of tea. That's unlikely to change. There're many other ways of making oneself useful to country and society besides politics."
