Bollywood’s fiercely outspoken actress, Kangana Ranaut, has been a force to be reckoned with both on and off the silver screen. Known for her unapologetic stance and frank opinions, she has never been one to shy away from taking a stand, whether it concerns the film fraternity or the political milieu of India. In light of her potent public persona, recent developments hint at the possibility of the actress considering a foray into politics.
In a candid conversation with TV9 Bharatvarsh, Kangana expounded on a growing sense of accountability she feels towards her homeland. “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,” Kangana confessed during the interview.
The narrative of whether Kangana will take a plunge into the political arena has been rife with speculation. “This country has given me so much; I feel deeply responsible to give back,” she remarked, acknowledging the love and adulation she has received from her countrymen. Her strong nationalistic fervor seems to have overshadowed her illustrious acting career, fueling further rumors about her imminent political debut.
In past statements, Kangana has alluded to her political aspirations with a touch of divine providence, saying, “Shri Krishna ki kripa rahi to ladenge (If Lord Krishna showers blessings, I will fight).” However, she also took to her social media platforms to clarify her stance: “I am a sensitive and sensible person, not a political person. I was asked to join politics many times, I didn’t.”
As her fans and followers mull over what might be next for the actress, Kangana is set to resonate with the audience in an entirely different role. She is gearing up for the release of her upcoming film, ‘Emergency.’ The movie sets out to portray one of the most controversial periods in the annals of Indian democracy—the Emergency imposed by the first woman Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi. Kangana is to embody the late premier in what promises to be a stirring depiction.
‘Emerge-ncy’ is Kangana’s directorial venture, further underscoring her multifaceted talent. The cast ensembles veteran artists like Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and commemorates the late Satish Kaushik. Pulled together by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, the film promises an engrossing cinematic experience with its music scored by Sanchit Balhara and screenplay and dialogues by Ritesh Shah.
As the film industry and the political sphere alike await Kangana’s next move, she remains at the helm of her convictions, whether it’s embracing a challenging role on the screen or pondering a potential leap into the exigent world of politics. It is clear that Kangana Ranaut continues to be a compelling figure whose actions and words will continue to stir public discourse and perhaps shape her legacy in both domains.
