The elections for the Movie Artist Association (MAA) have been drawing a lot of attention. So far, Prakash Raj, Manchu Vishnu and Jeevitha announced that they will fight for the President’s role.
Now, surprisingly senior actress Hema has joined the fight as the fourth contestant. Hema said that for the past few years, she served as the Vice President and other roles in MAA. The popular actress says that she had done justice to the positions which she dealt with. This time she wanted to compete for the position of treasurer.
But after big stars like Prakash Raj, Manchu Vishnu and Jeevitha entered the fight, Hema wanted to walk out of these elections. However, the veteran actress says that many of the association members asked her to compete for the president’s post.
“When I was contesting for Vice President, all my friends, especially the lady supporters, all the celebrities backed and made me win by a majority. Now, they had phoned me and asked why you should not compete. They said I was always available even in the middle of the night to address any kind of issues. I want to contest for the presidency in MAA elections on behalf of all those who stood by me during the contest as an Independent,” Hema said.
