Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan recently opened up about his days in politics. In a new clip from the latest episode of his quiz-based reality show Kaun Banega Crorepati, the veteran actor is seen talking to a contestant while he spoke about his political journey.
In the video, he can be heard saying, "I left (politics) in a very emotional state. My birthplace was Allahabad (now Prayagraj). The people there loved me a lot. I got a vote and won the election. But when I spent a few days there, I realised that this is a very difficult task. You have to look at this side, look at that side, listen to that side, how to answer this, how to do this. It`s very difficult".
