· India · Indian Express, Hindustan Times, The Hindu
Actor Suresh Oberoi joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2004 after a college friend urged him to do so. He campaigned for the party and worked in its cultural cell, meeting senior leaders L.K. Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Oberoi said a mentor warned him against staying in politics, yet he continued until he felt the environment was fake and driven by money. He singled out Modi and Amit Shah as sincere, but described most others as disingenuous. Oberoi expressed strong admiration for RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, noting him as a fan.
Why it matters
