Actress Kunickaa Sadanand has always been an outspoken personality. Be it about her divorce, her relationship with Kumar Sanu or her struggles in the Bollywood industry, the actress had always talked openly. She recently spoke about the political party eco-system in India and opinion why a religious based vote-bank political agenda is problematic for the country.

“With regards to politicians, we have gone too much into religion. Religion is not going to give you jobs. There is God for everyone. There is Allah, there is your God, then there is Jai Shree Ram, Hanuman Ji, Shiv Ji, Jesus Christ, and others.

But you don’t have to do divisive politics in the name of God. If politicians keep you engaged in political hatred, what benefit are you getting? Are your children getting jobs from it? Is the health system improving? Is India’s GDP increasing? We have to think about all these things.”

Kunickaa Sadanand on why she doesn’t want to join BJP even if opportunity arrises

Kunickaa during the interview stated that she was once heavily involved in politics (NCP and Congress). When she was asked by the host, whether she would be interested to go back again if opportunity presents itself, she emphasized about joining a political party in India which is not based on seperatist ideology, and doesn’t create communal gap like other parties.

“In the BJP, everybody carries a pro-Hindutva ideology. I don’t have a problem with Hindutva, but we are first a secular state. Our Constitution says we are a secular nation, which means we are a group of different religions, different tribes, and more. If a party gives prominence to only one religion, then I am not in favour of it.

People may advise me to join the BJP because it is in power these days, but if I do, will I be allowed to maintain my secular beliefs? Or will I also have to portray a pro-Hindutva stance as well? There are many ways to serve the country, and I am doing it in my own way.”
