Actress Sumalatha to contest in Karnataka Polls

Bengaluru, Apr 11: Senior actress Sumalatha who featured in many hit movies including Megastar Chiranjeevi's iconic blockbuster 'Khaidi' (1983) is said to be joining politics. Her husband Ambareesh is a well-known politician in Karnataka.

The state’s assembly polls are going to be held next month. Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee is said to have asked Sumalatha to field this time due to her husband's ill-health.

Sumalatha is likely to make her political debut and she is expected to contest the Karnataka assembly elections. Sumalatha’s husband Ambarish is already in active politics but he might give way for his best half as his health condition is not up to the mark.

If things fall in place, Sumalatha will contest on behalf of Congress party from Mandya constituency. Her political entry is confirmed by the party and very soon her name will be announced.

Sumalatha has acted as lead actress in number of movies in Tollywood apart from Tamil and Kannada movies.

Karnataka elections are scheduled next month.
