	Actors - Shatrughan Sinha

Shatrughan Sinha (born December 9, 1947) is an Indian actor, born in Patna. Even though he is from Bihar, a place not known for film personalities, he struggled hard and established himself as a prominent member of the Indian film industry. He is an alumnus of the Film and Television Institute of India and was one of the top male Bollywood film stars in the 1970s and 1980s. He started out playing villainous roles — and was immensely successful in portraying stylised villains. He then switched over to playing roles as the protagonist/main lead and was even more successful in solo starrers as well as multi-starrers. In the mid-1980s he felt that he should do something more for his country. Inspired by the great politician from Bihar Mr. Jay Prakash Narayan, he decided to enter politics. He was the first and only actor who entered politics by joining the opposition party. Mr Sinha is the most successful actor politician in India, having made history by being the first member of the film fraternity to become a cabinet minister. He has held two portfolios, the department of health, and the department of shipping. He is a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party and campaigns for the party all over India and is well known as a leader of the masses and a brilliant orator.
