HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | HAPPENINGS Amitabh Bachchan rules out a reentry into politics29th Apr 2008 09.00 IST By Agencies Ruling out a reentry into politics, Bollywood mega superstar Amitabh Bachchan has said 'political split among his fans' led to the end of his stint as a public servant. In his latest blog, the Big B writes an incident in Assam during electioneering forced him to abort the idea of as career in politics.
"My exit from politics is ruled and governed by that incident and it is the reason why I shall never ever go in that domain again. I would be unfaithful to myself and to my greatest asset -- my well wishers, my fans," he wrote. "During my electioneering in Allahabad in 1984, there were political splits in families. The women were voting for me, the men for my opponent. But a factor that weighed heavily during my short stint in politics and perhaps became the decider in my decision to withdraw was an incident that occurred in Assam. "For the Assembly elections in that state (Assam) I was sent to campaign for the party (Congress). An error of judgment forced my helicopter to land at the wrong destination. It belonged to the opposition. "There was instant physical reaction and the pilot advised we make a hurried exit. As I sat back in the plane, a young student broke the cordon, ran up to me, thrust his fist through the glass window and handed me a piece of paper," he wrote. It read, "Mr. Bachchan, I am a big fan of yours, but I am with the opposite party. Please leave this state, you are making life very difficult for me for I am torn between two desires."
