Sapna Choudhary may join Congress, likely to contest against Hema Malini from Mathura: Sources

Sapna Choudhary, the popular stage performer from Haryana is likely to join the Congress, party sources told News Nation on Friday. Interestingly, Choudhary is set to fight her Lok Sabha battle against Bollywood legend Hema Malini in Mathura, sources said. On the choice of the Lok Sabha seat, the party sources said that Mathura has dominant Jat presence and Choudhary comes from the same background. Hence, she is the perfect candidate for the prestigious poll war. It should be noted that Choudhary had visited the Congress headquarters a few months back. “Let’s see what fate has in store for me,” Choudhary had told News Nation when asked about her entry in active politics.

The dancing sensation from Haryana, who rose to fame with her ‘aakhya ka yo kaajal’ song, recently donated Rs 2 lakh to the families of Pulwama martyrs. Apart from her viral video, Choudhary is also known for her brief stint in popular TV show ‘Bigg Boss’ in 2017. Her popularity can be gauged from the fact that Choudhary beat Deepika Padukone and Radhika Apte in the list of ‘most searched women online in 2018’. With 1.7 million followers, Choudhary’s glamorous makeover was one of the major Instagram trends in 2018.
