Kriti Sanon Mulls Over Politics: Emulating Govinda Not On the Cards Yet


As the Indian political landscape sees the crossover of more prominent personalities from the entertainment industry, Kriti Sanon reflects on her potential future in politics. The dazzling star of Bollywood, Kriti Sanon, addressed questions about a possible shift to a political career during the Times Now Summit. This comes in the wake of veteran actor Govinda’s recent alignment with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction on Thursday.

Known for her dynamic on-screen presence and her recent ventures into production and entrepreneurship, Kriti Sanon has made a significant mark in the Hindi film industry. Within the session at the summit, queries arose concerning whether she intended to tread the path laid by her industry senior, Govinda, who was officially inducted into Shiv Sena amid the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Shinde in Mumbai.

Reflecting on the question, Kriti remarked, “I have never thought of that. I never think that I will do this or that until it comes from within and until I am not very passionate about it. If someday, it comes in my heart that I want to do something more, maybe then. One should keep shifting gears once in a while and challenge oneself to do things which one has not done before.”

Her cautious approach towards politics echoes a sentiment of not rushing into fields without a driving passion—a key trait admired by many of her fans and peers in the entertainment sphere.

Govinda, affectionately known as ‘Chi Chi’ by his fans, had earlier in the day met with Shiv Sena’s spokesperson Krishna Hegde, fueling speculation about his political moves before the formal announcement was made. He is no stranger to political endeavors, having successfully contested the Mumbai North Lok Sabha seat on a Congress ticket in 2004 and defeating BJP stalwart Ram Naik. Despite his win, Govinda’s tenure in politics was short-lived as he later resigned from the Congress party.

Another recent case of Bollywood’s enclave entering the political fray is Kangana Ranaut’s declaration as the BJP’s Lok Sabha candidate from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh. The fiery actress’s political debut appears daunting, given that she will contend in what has been a traditional Congress stronghold.

Concurrently, on the professional frontier, Kriti is engaged in completing her work on the upcoming film, ‘Crew.’ Teaming up with Kareena Kapoor Khan and Tabu, the trio will bring to life a story of three ‘badass’ air hostesses. The film promises to be a visual treat that combines humor, glitz, and suspense, as these characters traverse through the turbulence of the airline industry while inadvertently enmeshing themselves in a web of lies. The movie boasts notable banners—Balaji Telefilms and Anil Kapoor Film & Communications Network—and is scheduled to woo audiences in theaters on March 29.

‘Crew’ embodies a comedic narrative that unfolds in the context of an industry marred by struggles, symbolizing the lighter side of an otherwise grim sector. As the film gears up for release, fans eagerly anticipate the chemistry and performance of the lead trio set against this unique backdrop.

While Kriti Sanon admirably balances her time between her artistic pursuits and entrepreneurial ventures, the question of her foray into politics remains unanswered. As she parallels the thought process of dynamically evolving, expanding beyond comfort zones, and exploring uncharted territories, Sanon remains poised in the exploration of newer horizons.
