Why have cinema stars become political misfits?


Mimi Chakraborty, a prominent Trinamool leader and actress, has stepped down from politics. Mimi Chakraborty, the mp representing Jadavpur constituency, told journalists that she has chosen to leave politics since she feels mismatched in the field. 2019 saw Mimi enter politics under the Trinamool Congress. He was forced to run in the 2019 lok sabha elections from the safe seat of Jadavpur for the Trinamool, and after winning, he was sent to parliament by mamata Banerjee. bollywood actor sunny deol recently declared his resignation from politics prior to Mimi. Sunny is a Gurdaspur, Punjab-based bjp MP. In 2019, he also got involved in politics.

There are rumours that deepak Adhikari Dev and nusrat jahan will exit politics in addition to Mimi and Sunny. At the moment, both serve as lok sabha MPs. It is not unprecedented for bollywood stars to enter indian politics and then immediately retire. A lot of celebrities have entered and left the political scene, including Dharmendra, Govinda, and amitabh Bachchan. The public has undoubtedly lost out as a result of the Aaya Ram-Gaya ram politics of movie stars, regardless of whether the parties gain or lose. 

Documentation of absentee sessions in Parliament

The lok sabha attendance record of movie stars is appalling. The lack of numerous movie stars in the 17th lok sabha remains a matter of conversation. About 20 to 50 per cent of MPs from the film industry attend, according to PRS Legislative. By contrast, the average attendance rate of Members of parliament in the lok sabha is 79%.

Hema Malini will have a 50% attendance rate in the lok sabha from 2019 to 2024, according to PRS Legislative. Kirron Kher, the mp for chandigarh and Hema's colleague, has a 47% attendance rate. Just 17% of the time, Gurdaspur, punjab mp sunny deol, a member of the Deol family, is present. Hansraj Hans, the mp for Delhi, has a 39% attendance rate. nusrat jahan of the Trinamool party attended 23% of the 17th lok sabha, in a similar vein. While deepak Adhikari Dev attends parliament at a rate of 12%, Mimi, who bid politics farewell, attends at a rate of 21%.
