‘Actors should not be influenced by politics’

Entertainment and politics are often seen as complementary, especially during elections. This trend is even more pronounced in West Bengal, India. A recent comment by West Bengal actress and Trinamool Congress MP Shatabdi Roy has questioned this conventional wisdom. In a podcast, she said, “Actors should not be influenced by politics.” Her comment sparked discussions in both political and entertainment circles. Shatabdi Roy herself has been active in politics for a long time and is a three-time MP.
