Kangana Ranaut
Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut is currently serving as a Member of Parliament for the BJP from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi constituency after she was elected with a majority in the Lok Sabha elections 2024. After completing a year in office, the actress has now admitted that she is not fully enjoying her political career. She also went on to add that although she has always stood up for women's rights and women's empowerment, politics was more of a social service, which is not something she had done or was her background.
Kangana Ranaut says she is not enjoying politics
During a recent podcast appearance on Atman in Ravi (AIR), Kangana confessed, "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."

She further added, "I’ve fought for women’s rights, but that’s different... Somebody’s naali is broken, and I’m like, ‘But I am an MP and these people are coming to me with panchayat-level problems’. They don’t care. When they see you, they come to you with problems like broken roads, and I tell them that’s a state government issue, and they say, ‘You have money, you use your own money’."
Will Kangana Ranaut contest for Prime Minister?
She was also asked if she aspires to be the Prime Minister of India someday. To this, she replied, "I don’t think I’m competent to be the PM of India, nor do I have the necessary passion or inclination." She further continued, "Social work has never been my background. I’ve lived a very selfish kind of life. I want to have a big house, a big car, and I want to have diamonds. I want to look good. That’s the kind of life I’ve lived."

"I don’t know what purpose God chose me for, but I don’t see my life as this grand sacrifice... I don’t fancy that kind of life, and I don’t wish that upon anyone... I don’t have it in me," she added.
For the unversed, Kangana was recently criticised for not visiting her own constituency, Mandi, after it was affected by a cloudburst and heavy downpour. The actress later visited the site and interacted with the locals.
