In a recent turn of events, acclaimed Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has set the record straight regarding her personal life. With characteristic candor, Ranaut addressed budding rumors and confirmed her relationship status via social media. Amidst speculation and claims made by a Hindi news report, the actor categorically denied any romantic involvement with ‘Ease My Trip’ founder Nishant Pitti.
The nexus of rumors seems to have been a photograph that both Ranaut and Pitti were featured in, which quickly became a viral sensation. This viral image was taken at the auspicious inauguration of the Ram Mandir, where the two were seen posing, fueling the fires of gossip. Their apparent closeness was contrasted by a subsequent statement from Ranaut, who clarified that Nishant Pitti is a married man and that she herself is involved with a different individual.
“My humble request to the media, please don’t spread misinformation. Nishant ji is happily married and I am dating someone else. Wait for the right time please don’t embarrass us, it’s not nice to link a young woman to a new man every day just because they clicked pictures together. Please don’t do this,” Ranaut implored on her Instagram stories. Her plea was accompanied by a screenshot of the erroneous news report, making her stance on the matter crystal clear.
Ranaut and Pitti’s visit to the newly inaugurated Ram Mandir did not occur in isolation; they also visited the temple the following day when it was opened to the public. These repeated sightings likely contributed to the unfounded rumors about their association.
This is not the first time Kangana Ranaut’s personal life has been the subject of public speculation. In what seems like a recurrence, only earlier this month, her association with a hairstylist was misconceived as a romantic connection. At that occasion, she lamented the unwarranted and almost salacious scrutiny by the media, stating, “A man and a woman walking together on a street can be many possibilities not just sexual, they can be colleagues, siblings, work friends, and at times simply wonderful courteous hairstylist with a friendly client of many years.”
While her personal life has been the subject of much curiosity, Kangana Ranaut continues to forge ahead professionally. Currently, she is gearing up for the release of her film ‘Emergency’, where she enacts the role of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film which she announced on Instagram will release on June 14th, 2024. “Unlock the story behind India’s darkest hour. Announcing #Emergency…,” she wrote alongside a poster where she is intensely depicted as Indira Gandhi on a newspaper’s front page. Ranaut’s enthusiasm for the project is palpable, as she states, “Emergency is my most ambitious project and second directorial post Manikarnika, we have the best of Indian and international talent come together for this big-budget, grand period drama.”
Kangana Ranaut’s clarification on her relationship status not only provides a personal truth but also reflects the actor’s continual push against unfounded media narratives. Her direct communication and forthcoming nature with her fans underscores her commitment to maintaining authenticity amidst the often-blurry lines of celebrity reporting. As she continues her stride in the limelight, her audience can certainly expect more straightforward addresses and inspired performances in the days to come.
