Sanjay also urged fans not to trust social media gossip.
He further stated, “Please refrain from believing what is being circulated in the news about me as of now.”
The post comes amid speculation that the 64-year-old actor would be contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha polls as a Congress candidate from Haryana’s Karnal.
Earlier in 2009, Sanjay Dutt was a Samajwadi Party candidate in the Lucknow Lok Sabha constituency. However, he withdrew his candidacy after the court declined to suspend his conviction under the Arms Act. Later, he served as a general secretary but eventually resigned and parted ways with the party.
