Mumbai:
Sanjay Dutt, who was associated with a political party for a short period, feels that actors do not fit into the world of politics "as they are innocent people".
Sanjay Dutt had entered politics as a Samajwadi Party candidate for the Lucknow Parliamentary constituency. TheSamajwadi Party later appointed him as its general secretary. However, barely a year after, expressing sadness over the way his 'mentor' Amar Singh was treated in the party, Sanjay had resigned from the post and subsequentlyquit the party.
"I learned one thing...you got to go there and speak and promise so many things. If you do that then you have tofulfil so many things. I don't think it ever happens. It is a different world. Who will give lecture and all.. I don't knowall that. I don't know why I entered politics...what happened. I did a mistake. I don't think any actor fits therecompletely," Sanjay Dutt said.
There are several B-town celebrities, who have joined politics like Hema Malini, Shatrughan Sinha, Dharmendra, Jaya Prada, Raj Babbar and few others.
"As far as actors are concerned like Dharamji couldn't do it (politics). Hemaji is there, but still not there. Shatrusaheb is there, but seems he has not got his dues. Shatru saheb would have been a Cheif Minister by now...what work he has done...and what a good human being he is. I feel actors are very innocent people. Everyone will try and get their work out ofthem," Sanjay said.
Sanjay is also all praises for the newly-elected Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Akhilesh Yadav from the Samajwadi Party.
"I respect Mulayam Singh and even Akhilesh, he has studied abroad...an educated boy, he has new ideas, he isinnovative and he will make a difference," Sanjay said.
His father Sunil Dutt was a Congress MP. "He was a good man. Even Priya (sister) is there so that is enough," he said.
Sanjay's sister Priya, a Congress MP, had expressed disappointment at her brother's decision to contest electionson Samajwadi Party ticket saying that their father, Sunil Duttt, was a Congressman and the family had always beenassociated with Congress.
