Actor Gul Panag, who often makes headlines for her bold statements, also has an active role in politics. Recently, the actress spoke how these Bollywood actresses have a future in ‘active politics’ and have a ‘spine’.
Talking to a leading daily, Gul praised actress Kangana Ranaut and Taapsee Pannu, and said, “I see Kangana definitely being in active politics. I see Taapsee perhaps doing the same. I am not seeing any guys with spunk of late. But hopefully they will find their spine sometime. But these two women have a spine. I don’t agree with everything that Kangana says. I disagree with a lot of what she says, but the woman has a spine. She has a lot of spunk. Taapsee has it too and I won’t be surprised if those two end up in active politics a little later on. Perhaps even Siddharth might get there.”
More about Gul Panag’s next project:
Gul Panag is all set to play the role of a lawyer in the web series Good Bad Girl. Helmed by Abhishek Gupta, the show revolves around Maya Ahuja, a lively and quirky girl who has three different stories to tell. The show also features actors Samridhi Dewan, Vaibhav Raj Gupta, Sheeba Chadha, Aradhya Anjana, Namrata Sheth, Rajendra Sethi and Zain Khan. Good Bad Girl is produced by Vikas Bahl and Anurag Shrivastava and will be released on SonyLIV on October 14
Talking about the show, Gul recently told a leading daily, “I was impressed by the story. Typically female-driven stories are presented in one dimensional way—strong women fighting the system. This is different from it.” She had also revealed that she got her law degree only last year, just before being offered the role of a lawyer in Good Bad Girl.
On the other hand, Gul also has had an active political life. She joined the Aam Aadmi Party a few years ago, and fought the general assembly elections from Chandigarh in 2014. However, she could not win the polls against actor-politician Kirron Kher.
