Former Bollywood actress Moon Moon Sen's daughters Raima and
Riya are to join their mother as the Trinamool Congress candidate from the
Bankura Lok Sabha constituency goes on poll campaign.
Moon Moon tells campaigning is a challenge.
"My waking hours and my routine have changed
completely. It's become a fight where I can't let down my mother, my daughters
or myself. I wish you could see how difficult this is for me. We actors are
supposed to be entertainers," told Moon Moon.
"We've to ensure we entertain even while campaigning
for elections because it's essentially the same people who come to see me in
both the cinema theatres and public rallies. I find myself addressing the same
film and Jatra (folk theatre) fans at my road shows," Moon Moon told.
Moon Moon, the daughter of Bengali screen icon Suchitra Sen,
who passed away early this year, has also found a new fan-base.
"A new section of supporters for me is the Adivasi
community. I am very proud of the crowds who come to hear me. My party leaders
are very surprised by the crowds that gather to hear me. I realise I belong to
the film industry first, then to any political party. I hope my fan base
translates into votes," she further added.
