2 weeks ago

Indian-origin actor Poorna Jagannathan, who is known for her roles in films like 'Delhi Belly' and 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani', as well as the hit Netflix series 'Never Have I Ever', has endorsed US Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris for the presidential election.

In an exclusive interview with India Today, the 51-year-old actor said, "I am wholeheartedly supporting Kamala Harris. This is a very multi-issue election for me. I am an immigrant, a survivor of sexual violence, believe there should be a ceasefire and peace in the Middle East, and I have experienced the effects of climate change."

"And for all these reasons, I am a huge believer in not only what the Democratic Party thinks, but what she (Harris) stands for. It is a very personal election for me," she added.

The endorsement comes just hours ahead of the high-stakes election which will see Harris going head-to-head with former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump.
