In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Bengali actor Jeet said that when film industry figures enter politics, creativity takes a backseat. He commented on the rapid politicisation of Bengali cinema, where several actors have recently joined political parties. Jeet argued that playing around with power dilutes an artist’s focus on their craft. The interview did not name specific colleagues or parties.
