The buzz is that chances are Aishwarya Rai Bacchan would turn towards politics. Apparently efforts are on to persuade the ethereally beautiful actress to enter politics.

If all goes well, she could contest in the forthcoming parliamentary elections that are due in a couple of months.

Now we all know that Bachchans have a strong connection with the Samajwadi Party and that Amar Singh is a close family friend.

Ash's mum-in-law Jaya Bachchan is currently a member of the Parliament on the Samajwadi ticket. The party is trying to rope in other B-town candidates and field them against top politicians.

Sanjay Dutt could contest against the former Prime Minister Vajpayee from the Lucknow constituency.
