Kirron Kher is back to showbiz after her strenuous political campaign. She tells Darpan Mago that she can do justice to both cinema and politics
Jolly demeanor, lively disposition and a knack for style is what defines Kirron Kher. Dressed in an elegant sari, she walked around with a big smile on her face. From playing the ‘quintessential mother’ in Bollywood to taking up the role of neta, she has done it all with panache. “Politics and entertainment industries are both in the eye of storm. Both are constantly in the public eye, yet there lies a strong difference in being a character and portraying a true self,” said Kirron Kher. In cinema, fulfilling a character is the prime responsibility, while politics demands a creed of genuine people always ready to serve the public. In political arena, she doesn’t believe in sustaining a character, but has all the confidence to be real and true to the masses. She further assured when it comes to entertainment industry and serving the people, her first priority will be always be Chandigarh and that she only takes up select work in Bollywood.
Kher, who was here at the launch of Reva, said that real beauty lies in soul and only a good soul is capable of truly being called beautiful. Gauri, Nainika, Aamir Ali, Sanjeeda Sheikh and Aamna Shariff were among the others who were present.
Talking about the Modi lehar and her expectations from the polls, Kirron mentioned that these elections were very exciting and she strongly felt that he would be sweeping the polls this time. Hailing from Chandigarh, Kher looks forward to the people of the city to boosting her morale. She pointed that she’ll stand by her words and deal with the infrastructural problems that are cropping in the city. Her political journey has so far been an interesting experience and making her enjoy every moment of it. “Politics makes me feel alive and I can finally express my views on the country and its future,” she said.
Many people in the country just act on a peripheral level of knowledge rather than diving deep and finding the truth, Kher pointed out while expressing her desire to change the mindsets of people. “I want to make the ordinary citizen and the youngsters aware, most people react on perceptions, they don’t bother to go deep into any topic,” she said.
