Aamir has no plans to join politics

New Delhi, Feb 3 (PTI) Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan,
who has advocated sweeping electoral reforms and asked
political parties to field "young, dynamic and honest" people
in elections, says he has no plans to join politics.

"No, no I won't," was his cryptic reply at a function
here on being asked whether he was contemplating entering
politics.

Post 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, Aamir had said he
dreaded to think of how various political parties are now
going to try and use this tragedy to further their political
careers.

The star had even urged the political leaders to field
young, dyanamic, honest, intelligent and upright leaders
who actually care for the country.

Khan was speaking through video conference from
Bangalore during CNN IBN awards' function. The star bagged the
prize for being the 'Entertainer of the Year' for his films
"Taare Zameen Par" "Jaane Tu Yaa Jaane Naa" and recent
blockbuster "Ghazini".

The actor, who is known for avoiding award functions,
seems to have changed his stance recently and has been making
some appearances recently.

"I never stopped taking awards but I never got any,"
he said.

The star agreed with Union Health Minister Anbumani
Ramadoss' stance about creating awareness among people about
the ill-effects of smoking and drinking but said the
government should not to impose a ban on films.

"They can make a 1-minute film explaining the
ill-effects of smoking and screen it before the screening of
the film. As film stars we are ready to create awareness about
it in public," he said.

"But censoring smoking scenes from films is not right
because as filmmakers we have to show good things and bad
things together," he added.
