Actress Devlina Kumar clears the air on joining politics

Devlina Kumar has been actively involved in television, films, and OTT platforms. Apart from her passion for acting, she is an ardent fitness enthusiast and accomplished danseuse. Her social media pages often feature glimpses of her fitness routines, reflecting her dedication. Beyond her professional and personal interests, Devlina doesn't shy away from expressing her opinions on political and societal matters.
In Nandita Roy-Shiboprasad Mukherjee’s upcoming film ‘Raktabeej’, Devlina will be seen alongside eminent actors like Victor Banerjee, Abir Chatterjee, and Mimi Chakraborty. Besides, she has also bagged a pivotal role in 'Sada Ronger Prithibi' directed by Raajorshee De. This film sheds light on the lives of widows in Varanasi.
The fact that Devlina is the daughter of the TMC leader, Debasish Kumar, adds an intriguing dimension to her profile. She is openly supportive of the TMC and frequently conveys her admiration for West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee. Given the trend in Tollywood, where celebrities often transition into politics, there is rife speculation about Devlina taking a similar path.

Celebrities, owing to their immense popularity and public image, when they step into politics, often face intense scrutiny and are always under the public eye. Their every move, decision, and comment is magnified, making their journey in politics quite challenging.
But Devlina seems to have a clear perspective about this. In a candid conversation, she revealed her understanding of the demanding nature of politics. She emphasized that if she ever decides to embrace politics, she would dedicate significant time to it, to uphold her father's esteemed reputation. She recalled the dedication of her father, remembering how, even during the 2020 lockdown, she rarely saw him at home, and the actress realized that politics is not a part-time endeavor. As of now, with her commitments to dance, teaching, and the entertainment industry, politics doesn't appear to be on her immediate agenda. Additionally, she mentioned that her father hasn't actively encouraged her to join politics.

Devlina Kumar is well aware of the demands and scrutiny that come with a political career, especially for someone with her celebrity status. Whether she decides to take that path in the future remains to be seen.
