Ace Bollywood actor Dharmendra has announced that he wanted to say bye to his political career.

The actor said, "I came into politics, it felt that I almost choked myself and felt I was emotionally dragged into this. I never wanted to."

"The day I said yes I banged my head into the mirror and thought why I said yes," he added.

Dharmendra, who is the father of Sunny & Bobby Deol, was a member of the 14th Lok Sabha from 2004 to 2009 on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket.

The 74-year-old actor represented Rajasthan's Bikaner constituency.

Dharmendra refused that he had neglected his constituency.

"No politician would have worked like this. I felt that India is like my mother and Bikaner is one of its parts. I want to serve that area. I wish if every leader wants, India can be a heaven," he said.

He has not been active in politics and has rarely attended the Parliament when House was in session. (With Inputs from Agencies)
