Actress Kirron Kher, who joined BJP last year, says she came into politics for emotional reasons.
"I am basically a social activist. I want good governance from which all should benefit. It is an emotional reason that brought me to politics," Kher said here. Also describing herself as an entertainer, the actress said she would continue to do both, politics and acting, side by side.
The wife of acclaimed actor Anupam Kher, she won the National Film Award for Best Actress for Rituparno Ghosh's Bengali film Bariwali in 2000.
Popular for her supporting roles in films like Devdas, Dostana and Om Shanti Om, the 55-year-old has also done theatre performances, besides having hosted television shows.
However, Kher is in no mood to contest elections. "I will not contest elections. I am not interested," Kher said.
