Rumours have been rife that Kangana Ranaut is considering entering politics. The actress mentioned that her lack of a political background hasn’t stopped her from working for the country. However, she hinted that now might be the right time to make the move.
At a TV9 Bharatvarsh event, Kangana was asked if she plans to run in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. She has been vocal about her political stance that sparked speculations about her joining a political party. “It is not my place to announce whether I should be contesting or not. It has never kept me away from being a really aware person. I have done more than anyone could from this so-called seat for the country,” she said, adding, “I have literally fought from film sets with political parties. That doesn’t keep me away, it doesn’t take me a seat to do what I want to do for my country. But, if I want to get into politics, I probably think this is the right time.”
During the summit, the actor spoke of her proud nationalist identity, which, she said, is often more recognised than her two-decade-long acting career. When asked about her current work in South Indian films, she said she’s grateful for the love and support she receives.
“This country and its people have given me wings, love from all corners. I come from up North, I have worked in South, I have done roles about Delhi girls, Haryana girls, I have also done Jhansi ki Rani from central India. This country has given me so much, I feel deeply responsible to give back. I have always been more of a nationalist and that image has taken over even my very glorious acting career. I do have the awareness that I am deeply loved and appreciated,” she said.
Kangana will be next seen in her directorial, Emergency.
