Bollywood actor-turned-politician Urmila Matondkar is missing in action when the Shiv Sena leadership is banking on the party rank and file for support to fight a revolt allegedly aimed to finish off the Sena. While there is “Daud” among Sena workers to exhibit their loyalty towards the Matoshree camp to uproot the challenges thrown by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and rebel MLAs, Matondkar’s absence has fuelled speculations.

Many within the Sena are in a tizzy as Matondkar, instead of coming out in support of Thackeray and Sena, has tweeted extending her best wishes to Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
