During our teenage days, she used to be a well-known actor who had essayed the function of Draupadi in Mahabharat mega serial. No one must attempt to read something political into our courtesy meeting,” Ghosh instructed reporters.
Later, while speakme to a news channel, Ganguly said talking with a individual from another celebration doesn’t suggest a feasible switchover. “We met at a programme. But speakme to anybody from another political party doesn’t mean switching over to that outfit,” she said.
