Dressed in a dark yellowish-green saree, she embarks on her campaign at the crack of dawn, starting as early as 7 AM. &#8220;Some days we begin as early as 6:30. There\u2019s so much ground to cover, and we\u2019re doing our best to reach everyone,&#8221; she said. When asked if her choice of attire\u2014green and yellow, matching the Chakka (Jackfruit) symbol of her campaign\u2014has any significance, she laughs it off. &#8220;Honestly, I just wear whatever I can grab before heading out. It\u2019s been eight or nine days of constant campaigning, and I haven\u2019t had time to shop for more clothes, though I really should,&#8221; she said during her campaign walk with Onmanorama, adding that she\u2019s equally comfortable in both churidhar and saree for the long campaign days.<\/p>\n<p>Will her celebrity status translate into votes? She remains hopeful. &#8220;People know me as the girl-next-door from my movie roles. Politics is new to me, but the people of Tripunithura know who I am. I\u2019ve visited their homes many times, and I\u2019m hoping that\u2019s enough for them to support me,&#8221; said the \u2018Drishyam 2\u2019 actor, while acknowledging the strength of her competitors from LDF and UDF.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body__component-slot\">\n<div class=\"mmcontainer\">\n<div id=\"container-6ba46f1703\" class=\"cmp-container\">\n<div class=\"embed\">\n<div class=\"  cmp-video-block \">\n<div class=\"cmp-video-block__inner \">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&#039;Politics came into my life unexpectedly&#039; | Campaign Walk with NDA candidate Anjali Nair\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1d-g-TpVP5c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Her daily routine has shifted dramatically since the campaign began. &#8220;Before, I had more time to spend with my kids and juggle my business commitments. But now, I leave home early without seeing them, and the campaign stretches late into the night. I try to wrap up by 10pm so I can get back before they sleep. Even if it&#8217;s just an hour, I make sure to spend some time with them,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>Since her campaign began, the actor-turned-politician has also been subjected to intense online trolls on social media. So, how is she responding to the criticisms? \u201cAs a politician, you should be prepared for this. There was a viral clip showing me campaigning for votes among a few kids. However, only a portion of the incident was circulated online, which generated a significant amount of negative publicity. But I don\u2019t take these to heart,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>What are the key issues facing her constituency? &#8220;Thripunithura is made up of several areas, including Udayamperoor, Kumbalam, Maradu, and Palluruthy. During our visits, we\u2019ve heard a lot of frustration from the people about the current state of affairs. Our main focus is development, and we\u2019re aiming for a model similar to Kizhakambalam for Tripunithura. But more than grand promises, it\u2019s important to address the public\u2019s immediate needs and fulfill their basic demands,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>On whether she expects support from other artists during the campaign, she said, &#8220;I understand that everyone has their own commitments, but I\u2019ve spoken to the higher-ups to make sure space and time are available for celebrities who want to join the campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.onmanorama.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s a hectic day for Anjali Nair, the Twenty20 candidate from Thripunithura constituency.
