Actress and politician Venna Melinda doesn't seem satisfied inviting her family members to politics. After successfully inviting her husband, Ferry Irawan to run in the upcoming 2024 Pileg, the 50-year-old woman also supports her son, Verrell Bramasta, to enter politics.

Verrell Bramasta himself expressed his desire to retire from the world of entertainment, and politics is one of his goals. The mother, who is the winner of Puteri Indonesia 1994, also thinks that her eldest son is suitable to be a politician.

"He (Verrell) has ideals that he wants to channel through politics, to be a practical politician for me, why no," said Venna Melinda when met by media crews in the Kebayoran area, South Jakarta on Tuesday, December 20.

Venna Melinda did not mind her son's desire to quit the world of entertainment while still shining, because she had also done this. However, Venna advised her son to prepare mentally.

"The important thing is Verrell is mentally strong, because later the waves will be high, slanderous, blasphemous, it must be very strong, maybe 3 times more than the current one (as an artist)," he said.

He also assessed that Verrel must be able to adapt when he becomes a politician, because the life of an artist and politician is certainly very different. "So the people's representatives must be different. It's impossible like now," he continued.

Venna also told how she persuaded her husband, Ferry Irawan, who in fact is an actor to enter politics. Currently, both of them are Candidates for Legislative Candidates (Readeg) from the Perindo Party who will fight in the 2024 Pileg.

"I said it's time for Ferry Irawan to answer the challenges in politics, in the end he wants to. I know he's actually smart," he said.

Furthermore, Venna Melinda revealed that she will support her family who have the potential to enter politics, especially Verrell Bramasta. He wishes the best for his child.

"Whatever is best for Verrell, I will definitely support him as a parent. He seems to have his own idealism to go into politics," said Venna Melinda.
