Kangana Ranaut has once again grabbed attention for wearing her heart on her sleeve. She found herself making headlines after she visited Varanasi recently. A video went viral in which the actress is seen enjoying popular chaat, tikiya chole, in the city. However, after eating, many social media users accused her of tossing it onto the road. Kangana has now issued a clarification, calling the claims misleading and sharing photographic evidence.

Kangana took to Instagram Stories to post a new picture from the stall. In the image, she marked an arrow pointing towards a dustbin. She asserted that she, too, had placed her plate in that dustbin. She called out a news portal, writing, “Selective clips and twisted captions are not journalism; they are propaganda. Verify facts before publishing lies.”



About Kangana Ranaut

Kangana started her political career in 2024 when she contested on a BJP ticket and won the Lok Sabha elections 2024 from the Mandi constituency. In a recent podcast, she was asked if she enjoys her political career. To this, Kangana said, “I’m getting a hang of it. I wouldn’t say that I am enjoying it (politics). It’s a very different kind of work, more like social service. This hasn’t been my background. I’ve never thought of serving people. I’ve fought for women’s rights, but that’s different... Somebody’s naali (drain) is broken, and I’m like, ‘But I am an MP, and these people are coming to me with panchayat-level problems’.”

“When they see you, they come to you with problems like MLAs, broken roads, and I tell them that’s a state government issue, and they say, ‘You have money, you use your own money,’” she added.

When it comes to Bollywood, she was most recently seen in Emergency. Based on Indira Gandhi’s political life, the film received a lukewarm response at the box office. It also starred Anupam Kher, Satish Kaushik, Shreyas Talpade, Milind Soman and Mahima Chaudhry in pivotal roles. According to Variety, Kangana is now set to make her Hollywood debut with the upcoming horror film Blessed Be The Evil, produced by US-based Lions Movies. She will star alongside Teen Wolf actor Tyler Posey and Scarlet Rose Stallone.
