Ranaut would have been born in Bhambla, a village in the Mandi district of the Himachal Pradesh. The actor has expressed interest in participating several times in the past two years.
After her candidacy for Lok Sabha’s polls was revealed, an alleged old Ranaut tweet saying that she would not want to challenge Himachal because her “population is barely 60/70 lakhs” without “poverty / crime” is become viral.
“If I start politics, I want a state with complexities I can work on and be the queen that I am also in this area,” she replied to a user on X in March 2021.
When Kangana Ranaut hinted to join politics
Ranaut has links with politics. His great-grandfather, Sarju Singh Ranaut, was a deputy for Congress, according to a Indian Express report.
His father Amardeep Ranaut is a businessman and his mother, Asha, retired as a Mandi school teacher. Although his family has been traditionally supported by Congress, they seem to have moved their position in recent years.
Ranaut said last month that it could be the “good time” to make it political. Speaking during an event of TV9 BharatvarshThe actor of Bollywood said that it was not his place to announce whether she would dispute the polls of Lok Sabha or not.
Ranaut said that she was a “really conscious person” who “did more than anyone” for the country. “I literally fought in film sets with political parties. This does not prevent me from moving away, I don’t need to do what I want to do for my country. But, if I want to enter politics, I probably think it’s the right time, ” Indian Express quoted it as saying.
The actor, who was very vocal on various political questions of hot button and often courted the controversies with his remarks, also boasted of his “nationalist” references to the function. “I have always been more nationalist and this image resumed my career as a very glorious actor”.

THE Tejas The actor had also shown the tendency to make his debut in the survey in October 2022. During a Aajtak Conclave, questioned about its possible political entry, Ranaut said that it was open to fighting the Mandi elections on a BJP ticket if the public wished. She said that “it would be great if the people of the Himachal Pradesh would give me a chance to serve”.
She had made the comments just a month before the elections of the Himachal Pradesh assembly.
According to a 2022 India today Report, while some women in Himchali favored Ranaut’s foray into elections because it is “daring, beautiful” and could make a change in state policy, men were skeptical about the decision. Local men said it was popular but could not “prove to be a good politician,” added the report.
How she laid the foundations
Kangana Ranaut has long supported the BJP on various questions, including the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s self -proclaimed fan never lacks a chance to rent it.
By taking Instagram stories in January, she wrote that “intensity”, “intention” and “action” of PM Modi make it “extraordinary”. She also called it “Mahapurush”.
Ranaut, who is preparing for the release of his film Emergency Where she played the role of the former PM Indira Gandhi, also marked her attendance during the consecration ceremony of the Grand Ram temple in the Uttar Pradesh Ayodhya in January.
Wearing a cream sari during the event, the Fashion The actor shared a video on Instagram of his song with enthusiasm “Jai shri ram». She captioned the message: “RAM AA GAYE (Ram came).

Earlier this month, Ranaut expressed support for the CAA after the Union’s Interior Ministry has implemented the disputed law. Sharing the former video of the PM Modi on the legislation, she went to Instagram Stories and wrote: “Before forming an emotion with regard to the CAA, understand what it represents.”
It was not only Ranaut who supported the BJP. In 2020, the saffron party led a campaign to support the actor in the Himachal Pradesh after his controversial remarks on Mumbai created an agitation.
She had landed in a soup to compare Mumbai to cashmere occupied by Pakistan (Pok) while responding to Shiv Sena chief, then individual, Sanjay Raut who had criticized her for saying that she was “afraid” of the police of Mumbai.
The Congress had accused Ranaut of praising the BJP political agenda.
Following concerns about its security, Ranaut obtained the Y-Plus security from the Ministry of the Interior of the Union at the time. The Himachal CM, I Ram Thakur, also deployed police security in his residence Manali.
After years of vocal support, Ranaut is “officially” now in the lap of the BJP. Come in June and we will know if his bet has paid off.
