Background information of Shatrughan Prasad Sinha:

“Shotgun’ Sinha is an actor, politician, and crusader. Shatrughan Sinha became quite vocal during the Emergency and became close to the Jana Sangh. Not surprisingly, his entry in politics was as a BJP member and he finally made it as a Member of Parliament and then, as the Minister for Health. However, his desire to rule his native state Bihar that he called his janambhoomi – Maharashtra being his karambhoomi – remained unfulfilled, as to career politicians he has always been seen as an outsider. Thanks to politics, films took a back seat.
