He
had
the
whole
nation
in
tears
with
his
untimely
demise
in
Balika
Vadhu.
Jehangir
Vakil,
better
know
as
Pratap
of
Balika
Vadhu
is
fame
is
now
out
to
wipe
tears
in
real
life.
In
a
bizarre
move,
the
20-year-old
lad
has
joined
politics.
Vakil
has
been
appointed
as
the
general
secretary
of
Youth
Congress
Committee
Block
6-
Mira
Bhayander
City
(District).
Apparently,
its
Congress
General
Secretary
Rahul
Gandhi"s
recent
visit
to
Mumbai
that
was
instrument
in
Vakil
joining
politics.
“I
was
really
inspired
by
Rahul
Gandhi"s
recent
visit
to
the
city.
He
emphasized
the
need
for
the
youth
to
join
politics.
People
say
that
politics
is
dirty,
and
then
it
ought
to
be
cleaned.
That"s
why
I"ve
decided
to
join
politics.
We
need
the
youth
to
join
politics
to
change
the
rot
in
our
system," said
Vakil.
When
asked
as
to
what
issues
he"ll
take
up,
Vakil
replied,
“Corruption
is
the
biggest
menace
that
plagues
our
system.
Besides,
the
basic
problems
such
as
water
scarcity,
no
electricity
don"t
often
reach
the
authorities.
It"s
my
responsibly
to
take
these
issue
to
the
concerned
authorities"
Will
acting
now
take
a
back
seat?
“No,
I"ll
manage
both.
Politics
is
a
24
hour
job
and
you
must
be
prepared
to
serve
the
public
whenever
needed.
Acting
is
a
means
of
earning
your
daily
bread
but
I"ll
manage
both,
if
anything
good
comes
up
on
TV
or
film,
I"ll
definitely
take
it
up,"
the
20-year-old
concluded.
We
wish
the
actor
very
best
in
his
political
career.
