Bollywood actor Neha Sharma's father Ajeet Sharma, who contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Bhagalpur in Bihar on an Indian National Congress ticket, did not manage to secure enough votes and was defeated by Ajay Kumar Mandal of Janata Dal (United).

Hours after the declaration of results on Tuesday, Neha took to Instagram and thanked those who supported her father, admitting that it was a tough day for the family.
