"Yeah, you can take it like that," the mega star said when repeatedly asked by CNN-IBN whether he was "still open" for an alliance with the saffron party.

Earlier in the interview, he said it was "too early" to say about such a possibility.

"I being a secular party, I don't think it will happen. But when really inevitable and no other go, if we have to ...For the betterment of the state and the country...If we are cornered in such a way, we will try to avoid but I don't know...I don't want to join the BJP," he said earlier.

Asked are you open to the possibility, he said, "we will see...May be a chance...Which I cannot say either yes or no right now."
