Former Mumbai Congress Leader Urmila Matondkar Quashes Rumors

Mumbai: Former Mumbai Congress leader and Bollywood actress Urmila Matondkar on Tuesday dismissed all political speculation that she will be joining the Shiv Sena, ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections.

"I am not joining any other party... request media not to share whatever they hear. It is unfair towards me, to say the least, and also not appropriate towards any party," Urmila Matondkar said in a statement.

Her clarification came in response to intense speculation in media circles of her next political step that after her abrupt departure from the Congress last week (September 10).

Several probabilities and theories were doing rounds. Some said she would join the Nationalist Congress Party, or Maharashtra Navnirman Sena -- with whose leaders she enjoyed a good rapport -- but the latest were bets were on Shiv Sena.

The Sena predictions gained ground after reports that a senior Sena functionary had a detailed chat with Urmila Matondkar, but she has rubbished all rumors on this count. (IANS)
