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, here on Sunday.
Rimjhim is a popular TV actress who won `Jhalak Dikhla Jaa Bangla` in 2013 and was also seen in Bigg Boss Bangla. She also made her mark in films, like `Teen Yaari Katha` and `Cross Connection`.
"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," Rimjhim said after she was handed the BJP flag by its state president Dilip Ghosh.
