Roll Out the Red Carpet for Kangana – Bollywood’s Newest Politician!
Well, well, well, what do we have here? If it isn’t our very own firebrand actress Kangana Ranaut, making a grand entry into the political arena. Yes, you read it right, darlings! The Queen of Bollywood has swapped her director’s chair for a seat in the Lok Sabha. Goodbye, vanity van, hello, parliamentary bus!
In a turn of events that would make an intriguing plot for a Bollywood drama, the diva herself has emerged victorious in the 2024 Lok Sabha Election from the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh. And guess what? Our lady of the hour chose to celebrate this landmark event in true Bollywood style. Dressed in a regal pink saree, adorned with pearls, and a smile that could outshine the sun, Kangana graciously accepted her winning certificate on June 4th.
Now, if you’re a die-hard Kangana fan (which I know many of you are), you’ve probably already seen the viral pictures of the sparkling moment on social media. But for those of you living under a rock, the actress took to Instagram to share a video of herself, certificate in hand, basking in the glory of her victory, and greeting the media with the grace of a seasoned politician.
But wait, there’s more! Kangana didn’t stop at just sharing her victory with her fans. No, no, she took to Twitter to express her heartfelt gratitude towards the residents of Mandi, and to share her joy with the world. Alongside a picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, she wrote, "This victory is of all of you; this is the victory of faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP; this is the victory of Sanatan; this is the victory of the honour of Mandi."
And of course, what’s a celebration without some good ol’ Indian sweets? Kangana shared some sweet moments (pun intended) of her mother feeding her sweets to celebrate the victory. According to the Election Commission of India, Kangana managed to bag a whopping 524,079 votes!
Now, don’t think Kangana is planning to give up her film career for politics. Our Queen is still reigning over the silver screen, with ‘Emergency’ in the pipeline, although the release date is still under wraps.
And with that juicy tidbit, dear Bollywood buffs, I’ll leave you with this lopsided moral of the story: In Bollywood, one never knows when the script will flip and the actress will become the politician. So, brace yourself, because you never know who’s next! Could it be the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan? Or maybe the Badshah, Salman Khan? Only time will tell. Until then, keep watching this space for more Bollywood gossip, straight from your favorite Bollywood Newshound, Nisha!
