Heeramandi star Sonakshi Sinha reacts to plans of being a politician
In a recent conversation with Raj Shamani, Sonakshi Sinha was asked if she would like to venture into politics. The actress humorously remarked, “No, fir vahan bhi tum nepotism nepotism karoge (No, there also you will point out nepotism).”
The actress further mentioned that she has seen her father being a ‘people’s person’ and opposed to that she is a very private person. She admits to not having the qualities that a politician must have. According to her, one has to be very open and close to people and appeal them.
She said, “All jokes aside, I don’t think I would because I’ve seen my dad do it. I don’t think I have the aptitude for it. My dad is a very people’s person. I am a very private person, and you’ve to be a people’s person, you’ve to be there for them and this could be anyone strangers from every part of the country, and I’ve seen my dad do that, so I don’t think I have that in me.”
Sonakshi further continues by mentioning that she is ‘completely truly opened’ to a very few close people to her as she drew a contrast with the ‘basic’ and ‘first step’ to be a politician. She further asserted that as a politician, one must ‘appeal’ and ‘understand’ people and embrace their problems as their own. Thus, she believes she is not ‘able to or would be able’ to do so. “So, no point, no getting into something just for the sake of it,” she said on a concluding note.
Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar is currently streaming on Netflix.
