I don't think I have it to be a politician, and it requires a lot more commitment, says Khan.

(Web Desk) – Shah Rukh Khan enjoys a legion of fans in India and certainly knows how to floor the masses, but confesses that politics is simply not for him. One reason - he is not "selfless" enough.

"Oh, I love to do everything for the country in terms of the job that I do, as an entertainer. But you know, politics is a specialised field, and I don t have that much knowledge of being part of politics," said the Hindi film superstar, speaking exclusively to NDTV in Mumbai.

The 52-year-old candidly lists why he thinks he is unsuitable for the job.
"...you need to be an expert. Also I believe you need to be completely selfless, dedicated and working towards making the part of your people have a better life. So I don t know if I am strongly selfless about it as yet or not. So, I don t think, I doubt if I d be part of politics."

On a lighter note, he wonders, if he were to start a party, what would be his chinh (party symbol).

Any guesses? "Outstretched arms," he grins, referring to his trademark pose on the silver screen.

"Okay no, no, jokes of politics apart, I don t think I have it to be a politician, and it requires a lot more commitment than I have at this point of time to be honest."
