KOLKATA: Three days after a host of Bengali actors, including
Parno Mittra
, joined the
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Delhi, Bengali film and television actress
Rimjhim Mitra
followed suit on Sunday.
Rimjhim is a popular TV actress who won 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa Bangla' in 2013 and was also seen in
Bigg Boss Bangla
.
" I am not happy working under the monopolistic approach in the Bengali film and TV industry. I have felt cornered many times and this is the first time I am openly talking about supporting a party. I have
joined the BJP as I found it welcoming," she said after she was handed the BJP flag by its state president Dilip Ghosh.
Actor Surojit Choudhury and model Pamela Goswami also joined BJP.
