Hema Malini favours non-political president

Former Bharatiya Janata Party MP veteran actress Hema Malini believes a non-political candidate should be given preference in India’s upcoming presidential election. “I think the president should be from a non-political background. He should be a very highly qualified person and only a very knowledgeable person should become the president,” the 63-year-old said on Sunday. “It’s such a high position that to handle it, a non-political person should be preferred. He’ll understand everything and will not [favour] any political party.” Asked if she has any special tips for actress Rekha, who recently became a member of the Rajya Sabha, Malini said: “No one teaches you. Everyone has to learn on their own. Life is a long process to keep on learning every minute. So, she will also learn it on her own.”from gulf news.
