Namrata Shirodkar

She claims she joined the Congress to strengthen the hands of a woman of substance, Congress president Sonia Gandhi. And who would know better about 'women of substance' than this Miss India 1993?

· She walked out on an army officer accused of betraying the nation in Pukar (no, this had nothing to do with Tarun Tejpal's Tehelka exposé).
· She asked her gangster-boyfriend to WO (walk-off) when he doubts she's carrying his child in her womb in Vaastav.
· She dumped her fiancé and walked away, with her would-be mother-in-law, to freedom from male dominance in Astitva.
· She walked out of the bathroom and bared her chest to peeping toms in Pran Jaaye Par Shaan Naa Jaaye.

Having practised walking to such perfection in films, she will be ideal material for her leader's road shows. And if she fails to walk her Madame to power, she can still serve the nation. Heard of the Opposition's walkouts in Parliament?
