Actor-scriptwriter Salim Khan says being nominated to the Rajya Sabha would be a 'great honour' but he has not been approached for this by any political party.
Salim Khan, father of actors Salman Khan, Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan, tweeted that he had not been offered a seat in the Rajya Sabha by the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP).
The 80-year-old, who formed a successful jodi with lyricist Javed Akhtar, wrote scripts for Bollywood films including Haathi Mere Saathi, Seeta Aur Geeta, Zanjeer, Sholay and Mr India.

News "Salim Khan snubs BJP by refusing Rajya Sabha" is wrong.

Never been offered, if offered its a great honor. But will have to think cause of my age.
