Young Telugu actress Sahiti Dasari has taken the surprising step of entering politics while still pursuing her film career. The 28-year-old has filed her nomination as an independent candidate for the Chevella parliamentary constituency in the upcoming Telangana elections.

Dasari's foray into politics has caught many by surprise. She is a relative newcomer to the film industry, having appeared in only a few movies so far, including "Maa Oori Polimera 2." Her decision to contest the Chevella seat as an independent candidate is seen as an unconventional move, especially given her lack of political experience.

Dasari will face stiff competition from seasoned politicians in the Chevella constituency. Her main rivals are Kasani Gnaneshwar of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) and Ranjith Reddy of the Indian National Congress, both of whom are well-established and financially well-resourced.

Political analysts believe that Dasari is unlikely to pose a significant threat to her opponents in the Chevella race. Her lack of political experience and limited resources are expected to work against her in a contest against the established parties.

Dasari's decision to juggle her acting career with a political campaign is seen as a rare combination. While many actors have entered politics in the past, it is unusual for a relatively unknown actress to make such a move while still actively pursuing her film career.
