Shekhar Suman Says He Is Ready To Campaign For Kangana Ranaut: ‘Ye Toh Mera Farz Hai'

Shekhar Suman says he is ready to campaign for Kangana Ranaut, who is contesting the Lok Sabha Elections from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. While Kangana joined the Bhartiya Janta Party earlier this year, Shekhar became a part of the political party on Tuesday (May 7) in New Delhi.

Soon after joining the BJP, Shekhar Suman was asked if he was ready to campaign for Kangana Ranaut, who was reportedly in a romantic relationship with his son Adhyayan earlier. To this, the Heeramandi actor told news agency IANS, “Agar bulayengi toh kyu nahi jayenge? Ye toh mera farz hai, aur haq bhi (If she invites me then why wouldn’t I go? This is my duty, and my right as well).” Watch the video here:

Kangana Ranaut was reportedly dating Shekhar Suman’s son, Adhyayan. The two met on the sets of Mohit Suri’s Raaz – The Mystery Continues in 2008 and fell in love with each other. They dated for a year before parting ways.

Meanwhile, Shekhar Suman joined the BJP at the party headquarters in New Delhi when he was welcomed into the party by Vinod Tawde, General Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party. “Till yesterday I did not know that I would be sitting here today because many things in life happen knowingly or unknowingly. I have come here with a very positive thinking and I would like to thank God that he ordered me to come here,” the actor said while addressing a press conference.

“A person depends a lot upon his words and after a while words hold no importance because there is a difference between saying and doing things. I can sit here and give a speech as long as I want but it would hold no importance if I do no work,” the actor added.

On the work front, Shekhar Suman is currently enjoying the success of his recently released web series, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s show premiered on Netflix earlier this month and also stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal Mehta, Farida Jalal and Fardeen Khan in key roles. Shekhar’s son Adhyayan Suman is also a part of the show. Heeramandi explores the various aspects of a woman’s trials and tribulations. It is getting a positive response from the audience as of now.
