Popular television actress and a former Bigg Boss contestant Kamya Panjabi is all set to enter politics. A report in etimes states that Kamya has joined the Congress party and an announcement regarding this is likely to be made soon.

Etimes quoted a source saying, “Kamya always aspired to get into politics. However, she couldn’t take the plunge earlier due to her work and busy schedule. Now that her show Shakti — Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki has wrapped up, she has decided to take the plunge.”

However the actress was unavailable for comment and is yet to confirm her entry in politics.

Earlier in an interview in 2018 Kamya had said, "I want to be in politics as I feel politics is not a bad career choice. It is one of the most challenging and hardworking career options which not only tests one's strength but also the person's personality."

"I want to bring harassment against women to an end. Women are born to live a greater life. I don't want to see anyone being a victim to their family, society or anyone. They need to live a life fearlessly," she added in her statement to IANS.

The actress has been a part of showbiz industry for almost two decades now. She has featured in several TV shows including Bigg Boss season 7, Banoo Main Teri Dulhann, Maryada: Lekin Kab Tak? and Beintehaa.

Kamya is married to Delhi-based healthcare professional Shalabh Dang. The two tied the knot in February 2020.
