Haryana, Oct 07 2019: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has given a ticket to TikTok sensation Sonali Phogat to contest from Adampur constituency in Haryana.

Well, the battle ahead is not easy as she takes on Congress candidate Kuldeep Bishnoi, son of former chief minister Bhajan Lal. However, Sonali told News18 that if she wins, she will use TikTok for making desh bhakti videos and highlight the developmental work in her constituency.

For those who are not aware of Sonali, she is a television actress, who played a small role in Zee TV’s show Amma. Sonali told The Print that she has even ’worked for Doordarshan as an anchor in Hisar, and has also worked with Bollywood actor Jimmy Sheirgill. The actress, who is born into a peasant family in the Fatehabad district of Haryana, has around 1.20 lakh followers on the app.
