"The Media has reported that I have joined the Trinamool Congress Youth Wing. The truth is that I have been asked to be a member on an advisory board for cultural activities, in my capacity as an actor/filmmaker," Farhan wrote on his Twitter page.
"This is in my understanding, to be an apolitical board. I hope this will clear my stand on this decision once and for all," he wrote.
West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress has formed a youth wing to be led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's nephew Abhishek Banerjee.
The youth wing has decided to conduct a membership drive across the country while roping in personalities like Farhan, tennis star Leander Paes and tech evangalist Sam Pitroda as advisors.
