Actor Sunny Deol met BJP President Amit Shah in Pune on Friday, 19 April, sparking speculation over him joining the party and contesting the Lok Sabha elections.
While the BJP is yet to announce its candidates for three seats in Punjab (Gurdaspur, Amritsar and Hoshiarpur), NDTV reported that the party chief met him to convince him to contest from Amritsar.
As told to the television channel, Deol said, "I heard about it. I just met him and we took a photograph, that's it." The original photo was posted by Punjab BJP leader Tarun Rathi.
