While Govinda, Celina, Om Puri have become regular members of Congress party, Hema Malini, Yukta Mookhey and Suresh Oberoi have joined the BJP. However, none of the stars will be contesting for any seat in the coming polls.
Here is what some stars had to say about their new role:
Yukta: "I haven’t switched over from acting to politics. But I would like to contribute in any which way to improve the condition of things, and I think BJP has been doing a pretty good job in last few years."
Celina: "I’m here as a symbol of youth to do something. I have joined Congress because it is more secular compared to other parties and let us not forget it was the first ruling party in the country."
Among the actors Govinda and Om Puri say that they have always believed in the ideology of Congress and that is why they decided to join the party.
With the Lok Sabha elections around the corner, a number of actors and actresses are lending their support to different political parties.
