Actor Ananth Mahadevan said he once asked late actor-politician Vinod Khanna to contest for Prime Minister's post. "We don't mind a good looking Prime Minister for a change," Ananth recalled saying. "Khanna said, 'No Ananth...it is a very vicious game...Not as straight as you think," he added. Khanna was elected as an MP from Punjab's Gurdaspur four times.
