Is Kangana Ranaut actively considering joining politics? The actor says not being a politician has never come in the way for her to work for the country, but if she were to take the plunge into the world of politics, this just may be the “right time.”
During an event of TV9 Bharatvarsh, Kangana was asked if she would contesting the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The actor has been vocal about her political stand, with constant speculations that she would join the BJP.
“It is not my place to announce whether I should be contesting or not,” Kangana said and laughed. The actor then added, “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.
“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.”
At the summit, the actor spoke about she is a proud nationalist– an image that is widely known more than even her two-decade-long acting career. When asked how she is doing South films today, the actor said she feels grateful that she is loved everywhere.
“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 added.
On the work front, Kangana Ranaut will be next seen in Emergency, which she has directed and also produced. Featuring her in the role of India’s former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, the film is gearing for a global release on June 14.
