Popular Bengali TV actress Aratrika Maity recently stirred a conversation about her political leanings in a candid interview. Known for her roles in hit megaserials, Aratrika expressed her fondness for the word ‘Comrade’, stating that the term resonates with a sense of struggle and equality. However, this ideological preference hasn’t sat well with her family.

Aratrika revealed that while she finds comfort in the socialist greeting, her parents are deeply concerned about her being “stamped” with a specific political identity. According to the actress, her family fears that a political label might adversely affect her acting career and lead to unnecessary controversies. While she hasn’t announced any formal entry into politics, her affinity for the term has sparked curiosity among fans about whether the young star is leaning towards the Left ahead of the 2026 elections.
