Suresh Oberoi Reflects on Brief BJP Involvement and Guru's Warning Against Politics
Actor Suresh Oberoi joined the BJP in 2004 after a college friend's suggestion and campaigned for the party, meeting leaders like L.K. Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee. His guru strongly warned him against politics, advising him to avoid contact with political figures. Oberoi later felt uncomfortable with the political environment, though he expressed respect for Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and Yogi Adityanath. He ultimately decided not to pursue a political career, citing a lack of personal alignment with the political world.
