"It is a free country and anyone can fight elections," she added.

Sanjay, who is the Samajwadi Party candidate from Lucknow, had Wednesday expressed the hope that Hema Malini would not contest against him.

The actress said in response: "I'm not even sure whether I will contest elections or not. He has lot of respect for me and I also really like him. We are good colleagues."

She supports the entry of celebrities into politics.

"They can bring some fresh changes to the country. Like the new generation is bringing fresh ideas to Bollywood, they can bring some fresh ideas to politics as well."
