Priyanka Chopra has ruled out a political career after it was revealed she was Congress's first choice to replace Govinda.
A source said: "The Congress wanted a glamorous and younger Bollywood candidate after Govinda for the prestigious Mumbai North constituency.
"Someone who would connect with the young urban youth of the nation. Initially Priyanka didn't say no. But then her bulk of film-related work got the better of her.
"Shooting day and night and then putting in months of gruelling election campaigning and devoting quality and quantity time to her constituency seemed a bit much for Priyanka. She finally had to say no, although Soniaji was very keen."
A friend admitted that Priyanka hasn't completely said no to politics: "Priyanka doesn't rule out politics in the future. But this time she is neither contesting nor campaigning for any candidate. Besides her schedules taking over Govinda’s constituency seemed a rather daunting task to Priyanka."
