From acting in Hindi cinema to contesting elections and actively joining politics, actor Urmila Matondkar’s journey has been quite memorable.
Now, it is being reported that Urmila will be joining the Shiv Sena party in Maharashtra after quitting Congress. Urmila had contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections on a Congress ticket and quit the party later. However, she is now going to join the Shiv Sena on Tuesday, a party functionary said.
