Celebs tweet about Sachin Tendulkar's Rajya Sabha nomination

Anand Mahindra: Sachin is unused to being a non-playing member of any team. Maybe he can convert the Rajya Sabha seat into a more-than-ornamental role..

Mahesh Bhupathi: I hope for SRT's sake politics works out. He has always been the best at what he does. Indian politics? Oh Boy!!! Should be fun to watch..

Omar Abdullah: Amazing to see the storm that Sachin's nomination has generated. I think he'd have preferred a Bharat Ratna after all :-)

Kiran Bedi: Sachin will perhaps have to guard against being used by political interests. He belongs to all. He is a silent lone worker, not an activist.

Ayaz Memon: Tendulkar as Rajya Sabha MP comes a day after hockey captain Dilip Tirkey was sworn in. Sports getting meaningful recognition you would say?

Gul Panag: I am ALL for Sachin for RS. Better than a retired 60+ sports person no? #sports

Faking news: Anyway. With Tendulkar in Rajya Sabha, "Parliament" will finally be the temple of democracy.

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala: Sachin Tendulkar in Parliament is like 1 Rajnikant surrounded by 500 Uday Chopras.

Derek O'Brien: Former India captains in Rajya Sabha.Hockey got there before cricket! Dilip Tirkey sworn in yesterday...now Tendulkar
