Varanam Aayiram girl joins Youth Congress

April 20, 2011

Film actors and actresses joining politics is not at all a surprising thing as it started right from MGR, Karunanidhi, Jayalalitha, Vijayakanth, Sarath Kumar, Vijay and the list goes on. Now latest name added to the list is Varanam Aayiram girl Divya Spandana.

Actress Divya Spandana is now the member of Youth Congress and this is certainly not a surprising factor as she hails from a political background family. The actress is high in career with her recent flick Sanju weds Geetha turned out to be a hit.

The actress also confirmed that she has joined the Youth Congress and her joining in Congress is making rounds for quite sometime now in the tinsel town. Divya Spandana says that she has been invited by none other than Rahul Gandhi, President Youth Congress and has just accepted that invitation given him. Apparently the actress is the close relative to Union Minister S.M.Krishna and also Congress politician Ambareesh is her mentor and guide. If she has made this decision earlier, she could have been a star campaigner of the party for the three by-elections held in Karnataka. [WaY]

Now, South Indian Film Artistes Association (SIFAA) has formed a committee to look into this matter. Meanwhile, Asin says that she has already spoken to SIFAA chief Sarath Kumar and she will respect committees stand on her Sri Lankan visit.

Earlier, SIFAA had warned actors not to travel to Colombo for IIFA awards and threaten to boycott film festival. Many actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Namitha, Genelia and others cancelled their trip at the eleventh hour. But, the stars like Salman Khan, Vivek Oberoi, Saif Ali Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Lara Dutta and others attended film fest and now they have been banned. (OI)
