Akshay Kumar offered Congress ticket from Delhi seat

In a desperate move, the Congress party is said to have approached Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, attempting to convince him to fight from Chandni Chowk for the party where it faces stiff competition from BJP candidate Harsh Vardhan and AAP's Ashutosh. In an interview the Bollywood actor has admitted that he was in fact offered a ticket to contest but refused to name the political party that did so. He also stated that he had politely turned down the offer as he wants to concentrate of Bollywood right now and he wasn't ready for politics as yet. He added that he had no interest in politics.
