Politics
is
termed
as
a
'dirty
game',
where
very
few
commoners
would
prefer
to
chase
his
dreams
as
a
politician,
who
is
considered
to
impurify
a
society
through
slow
poisoning.
On
the
other
hand
is
our
Indian
film
industry,
where
millions
try
their
luck
to
turn
a
star
one
day.
But
what
happens
when
these
two
extreme
poles
meet?
Political
subjects
and
incidents
are
increasingly
finding
their
way
into
films
now.
Bollywood's
increasing
interest
in
Delhi
and
Indian
politcs
as
a
subject
has
profoundly
affected
the
stars
who
have
found
their
way
into
this
'Dirty
game'
as
MPs
and
MLAs.
The
active
film
stars
like
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Hema
Malini,
Dharmendra,
Shatrughan
Sinha,
Govinda
and
many
more
have
entered
the
political
field
with
the
genuine
motto
of
serving
people.
The
entry
of
these
stars
add
glitz
and
glamour
to
campaigns.
Film
actor
Hema
Malini
was
nominated
to
the
Rajya
Sabha
in
2003.
In
2004,
Govinda
joined
the
Congress
party,
and
was
elected
to
the
Lok
Sabha.
Amitabh
Bachchan
contested
Allahabad"s
Lok
Sabha
seat
against
H.N.Bahuguna,
former
CM
of
UP
and
won
the
elections.
Jaya
Bachchan
joined
Samajwadi
Party
and
became
Member
of
Parliament,
representing
Rajya
Sabha.
Though
the
political
works
of
these
Bollywood
stars
is
a
known
fact,
what's
fresh
that
binds
Bollywood
and
politics?
It's
about
how
the
kids
of
the
famous
Indian
politicians
have
shrugged
off
their
politcal
lineage
to
make
a
way
in
Bollywood.
Actors
like
Riteish
Deshmukh,
Arunadoy
Singh,
Chirag
Paswan
and
now
Ajith
Anthony
have
made
their
dreams
come
true
in
the
tinsel
town.
On
other
hand,
politics
have
been
a
favourite
punching
bag
for
Bollywood
filmmakers
for
years
now.
Films
like
Rajneeti,
Gulaal,
Naayak,
Yuva
have
revealed
the
truth
of
politics
to
us.
Though
both
the
fields
share
a
strong
bonding
and
friendship,
they
have
failed
to
make
a
significant
contribution
for
the
society.
