Amitabh Bachchan had a breif stint in politics as an MP two decades ago, but after leaving politics never returned back to it ‘coz he is “inadequate for the job”.

Big B wrote on his blog, “Many ask me why I joined politics and then why I left it. I joined it because I was asked to and left because I was inadequate for the job.”

“Politics is a complicated world – a world where if you are unable to play the game, you would remain a novice and a stranger eternally. I admire those who have remained in it for long years. Admire the guile with which they steer their boats everyday, every minute. The ease with which they make associations and break them, reject foes and months later embrace them as dearest friends. It is a tough job.

“A job that I would never be able to do. I would never recommend it to anyone. But I do know that those that pursue this line, do so with utmost dedication and passion. Their dedication and passion is admirable.”
