I would like to put all rumours about me joining politics to rest. I am not joining any party or contesting elections. If I do decide to step into the political arena then I will be the first one to announce it. Please refrain from believing what is being circulated in the news…

The actor further stated that he would notify his fans himself if he ever decides to join any political party. His post comes after speculations that he would be contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha polls as a Congress candidate from Haryana’s Karnal. According to several reports, the party has planned to utilise Dutt’s star power. Moreover, Dutt’s ancestral village is in Yamuna Nagar district in Haryana, which also convinced fans of the rumours circulating online.

However, it seems that Sanjay Dutt has had enough of these rumours. It would be interesting to note if the actor ever plans to join any political party or contest elections in the future.
