Tejaswini Ananth Kumar

Tejaswini Ananth Kumar, wife of late parliamentarian Ananth Kumar, has been appointed as the vice president of the BJP's Karnataka unit, a week after being denied a party ticket from her husband's constituency Bengaluru South.

The BJP's decision to pick Tejasvi Surya as its candidate in the high-profile Bangalore South seat in Karnataka for the national election has left in shock a leader who had even started her campaign - Tejaswini Ananth Kumar.

Union Minister and senior BJP leader Ananth Kumar died at a private hospital in Bengaluru at 2 am on Monday. The 59-year-old leader was suffering from cancer for nearly a year. Ananth Kumar was back from the US in October after treatment. His wife, Tejaswini and two daughters were with him when he died.

Even as some candidates are out in the battlefield with their nose at the front, the better halves of Nandan Nilekani, Ananth Kumar and Geeta Shivarajkumar, are doing their bit to ensure their respective spouses win in their respective parliamentary constituencies.

Actor-director Ananth Mahadevan's Marathi biopic Mee Sindhutai Sapkal has bagged two awards at the Imagineindia Film Festival in Spain including one for the Second Best Movie.
