She has seen 50 summers go by and, this year, a few months short of her birthday, Maliah took baby steps into politics. The Trinamool Congress in March chose her as its candidate from the crucial Medinipur seat, after overlooking several senior leaders in the party. For Maliah, the move from glamour to the heat and dust and often murkiness of Bengal politics has been surprisingly easy. "Even the hours I work are the same. I am up at 7 am and in bed by midnight. Except that instead of a studio I am in my constituency. It has been a rewarding experience and I am grateful to the party for the candidature," she says. Now that the election in … [Read more...] about What Mamata can learn from this actor
