Amitabh for President? Shatrughan bats for superstar

March 18, 2016 08:29

BJP MP Shatrughan Sinha mooted the name of Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan as the next President of India.

"It will be a matter of pride if Amitabh Bachchan, a cultural icon, is made president of the country," Sinha said. "Amitabh Bachchan has achieved many a milestone in cultural and social fields and if he becomes president, it will fetch a good name for the country," Sinha, who has worked with the star in many successful movies, said.

In reply to a question that Bachchan has favoured his (Sinha's) name for the president's post, the second term BJP Lok Sabha member from Patna Sahib, said "it's his greatness. But, I will be happy if he graces the chair of President after Pranab Mukherjee."
