Actor Amisha Patel, who was in Ahmedabad on Tuesday for a promotional event, said she is not contesting the Lok Sabha polls. Earlier, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) had reported that Patel will contest from Rajkot on a party ticket.

Initially, Amisha evaded questions on her entering politics and refused to speak anything on the topic. On being asked whether she contemplated contesting the polls, she said that since she wasn't interested, such a question did not arise.

"I have not accepted any offer to contest the elections; neither am I campaigning for any party," she said. She, however, said she was not against the notion of actors making a foray into politics. "If you can handle both, then why not," she said.

She also did not deny that she is not interested in politics. "Who is not interested in politics? Every person, every citizen of the country is interested in politics," she said. On a lighter note, she added that her grandfather, Barrister Rajni Patel, was a politician and the Congress Pradesh Committee president of Mumbai.
