Mandi: Bollywood star and BJP candidate from Mandi's seat in Himachal Pradesh, Kangana Ranaut, claimed that she was successful in the film industry and will succeed in politics as well. She told Asian News International that after filing her nomination for the Lok Sabha polls on Tuesday, Hindustan Times reported.
Her mother, Asha Ranaut, and her sister, Rangoli Chandel, accompanied her, who donned a green saree and a Himachali cap to file the nomination papers.
ANI quoted her, "Today I have filed nomination from Mandi LS seat. It is a matter of pride for me to have the opportunity to compete with Mandi. I have been successful in Bollywood, and I am hopeful that I will succeed in the field of politics as well."
She claimed then that the people of Mandi and their love brought her to contest in the polls. When women in India are making a mark in every field, incidents of female feticide were very high in Mandi a few years ago. However, today, women of Mandi are in the Army and in fields of education and politics, she said.
Her mother is also confident of her victory and said that Kangana did a lot for the people, and she will continue doing so. Kangana’s sister Rangoli wished her wishes for a “new journey”.
The contest for the seat is to happen on June 1, and she will be facing Congress’ Vikramaditya Singh, the son of the late former chief minister of the state Virbhadra Singh.
On the silver screen, Kangana Ranaut is going to be featured in Emergency, which is also her directorial debut, which is to be released on June 14th. The film will also feature Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair and the late Satish Kaushik.
