Neha Sharma’s political background
Actress Neha Sharma is from a political background. Her father Ajit Sharma is the leader of the Congress Legislative Party in Bihar. Recently, the actress was campaigning for her father. Many times Neha is asked questions about joining politics. It is also asked whether being from a political family has affected her career?
Neha answered on being from a political family
In an interview given to India Today, Neha has answered these questions. Neha says that 15 years ago I started my career in Bollywood. My father won the first election in 2014. In a way, we started things at the same time.
At that time my father was not so powerful. I never thought that people would believe that my father was from Congress and we support the opposition, so this is an issue. This thing never backfired on me. In other words, if I look at it from a political aspect, I don’t think it has ever harmed me. I never felt like that.
Why did Neha Sharma not get good roles?
Neha told that she did not get good roles because most filmmakers work with their friends. This is the case in every industry. It is fun to work with people you know or who are your friends.
‘Supported my father, not any ideology’
Neha said that she does not know if the opposition is upset with her campaigning for her father. She says- I have reached this far in my career due to talent and hard work. I was not promoting any particular party here. I was just supporting my father. As every child does. I am not campaigning for or against any ideology. I have always been chosen due to my talent. It is always going to be like this.
How did Neha feel meeting the local people during the campaign?
While campaigning for her father, Neha got a chance to visit many cities of Bihar. Neha described meeting the local people as a satisfying experience. She says- When you meet people on the ground, you realize how far you have come. So many people are proud of you, talking to people face to face gives satisfaction.

These emotions cannot be expressed in words. This is a beautiful feeling. It took me 15 years to survive in the industry, this journey was never easy for me. In the past years, I have worked on myself. I want to go on the ground and meet real people, I want to do something for them. There is a lot that we can do, like regarding poverty and employment. These are real issues and should be talked about, but we often lose touch with people. The time I have spent with my father in the past has helped me get a bigger perspective about our responsibilities.
