I would never enter politics: Abhay Deol

A number of Bollywood celebrities may be making their political debut in this election season but actor Abhay Deol says he has no political aspirations and the most he would do is go out and vote.
"I would never enter politics but I will go out and vote. If there are people who want to get into the system and bring some change, they can go ahead and do it. There is nothing wrong with that. People from everywhere have to participate to clean the system from inside," Abhay told PTI.
However, the 38-year-old actor's resume mostly boasts of films with a distinct social and political element. Be it 'Shanghai', which dealt with the issue of land displacement, 'Chakyavyuh' about the Naxalite movement or 'Ranjhanna', where he played a young student leader and socialist.

Abhay feels even without entering politics, he tries to contribute in bringing change in the society through the medium of films.
"I am not a politician, nor an activist. But in my small way I try and bring change with the kind of films I do. I choose my films very carefully. I have done films which are sensitive, which deal with some issues and are a mirror of the society," he said.
Abhay made his production debut this year with 'One By Two', which saw him opposite real-life girlfriend Preeti Desai. The film, however, did not do well. But, Abhay is not disheartened by the failure at all and says he will continue to produce films.

"Well that hurts anyway. Not just because it was my production. It is part of the experience, journey of a director, actor or producer. You are going to have hits and misses, you can't always have a 100 per cent run. I believe in the saying, 'It is not about the amount of times you fall, it is about the amount of times you get up'," he said.
