Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut is stepping into a new role as she enters the political arena. Running as a candidate for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the Mandi constituency, she promises to dedicate herself fully to serving the people if elected in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Ranaut expressed her commitment to the people of Mandi, stating that she would work tirelessly for their welfare if given the chance. Drawing inspiration from figures like Swami Vivekananda, Sadhguru ji, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she aims to be a voice for the people, advocating for their rights and working towards improving essential services such as schools, hospitals, and roads.
Addressing concerns about her transition from the glamour of Bollywood to the responsibilities of politics, Ranaut acknowledged the possibility of making mistakes but emphasized that the political arena differs from the film industry, where errors might not have the same consequences.
During a public rally and roadshow in her constituency, Ranaut reassured the people of Mandi of her dedication to their cause. Grateful for the opportunity to represent her “janmabhoomi” (birthplace), she pledged to serve the community with sincerity and gratitude. The BJP’s decision to nominate Ranaut as a candidate reflects its commitment to diversity and inclusivity. Ranaut expressed her gratitude to BJP chief JP Nadda for the opportunity, highlighting the party’s culture of cooperation and unity.
As Ranaut embarks on this new journey, her candidacy raises questions about the intersection of celebrity and politics. Can a Bollywood star effectively navigate the complexities of governance and representation? Only time will tell, but for now, Kangana Ranaut is poised to bring her passion and determination to the forefront of Indian politics.
