Sentence: I sincerely feel my hero Rahul G should not go for the Who Wants To Be a Millionaire show.

Context to understand the sentence Rahul, the name mentioned in the sentence is a name of a important politician and the show Who Wants To Be a Millionaire is being referred actually to its local Asian version. The mentioned politician has got an offer from the host to do an episode.

Now my question: Is my sentence correct grammatically and syntactically? I want to confirm because the way I've used the word "my hero" before the word Rahul in the sentence.

Thanks and Regards

It's grammatical, Razer. "go for" doesn't sound completely natural, though it could if the context was there.

I sincerely feel my hero, Rahul G, should not go for the offer to go on the Who Wants To Be a Millionaire show.

I sincerely feel my hero, Rahul G, should not go on the Who Wants To Be a Millionaire show.

@Razer,
Respected politicians of Rahul G's ilk should not appear on Who Wants to be a Millionaire.

"Go for" is idiomatic (slang, informal, conversational). In any case one does not "go for" a TV show. One goes for a goal or target. "Participate in" is an example of a more formal substitute.
