In a recent development, the Bollywood’s veteran actor and the national award winner Amitabh Bachchan is in the race for the next president of India.

Samajwadi’s former President and MP, Amar Singh has stated in an interview that Amitabh Bachchan might be nominated as the next president of India by the honorable Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. He also continued his comments regarding the duo, that he was responsible for the two to meet for the first time in Gujarat and due to his efforts and recommendations, the then Chief Minister Mr.Narendra Modi appointed Amitabh as the brand ambassador of the state.

This statement has gained importance as earlier too there was a news that the preceding presidential candidate is Amitabh after Pranab Mukherjee. Shatrughan Sinha, former BJP MP has expressed his view in this regard. He said that it will be proud feeling if the veteran Actor is made the president and he will be delighted if the opportunity is given as expected.

Amar Singh is known to be a close associate to Amitabh Bachchan’s family for a long time. He is a well-wisher too. The recent comments though some say as April Fool Day’s drama could not be taken in a lighter way. Let us wait until the final declaration comes officially from the PMO because anything can happen in Indian politics at any point of time.
