Kangana visits Golden Temple, feuls talk on foray into politics

Amritsar: Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut, who had tested negative for Covid-19 a few days back, on Monday visited the

Golden Temple

here along with her family members. Wearing an all-blue pastel coloured suit, she arrived that the shrine around 7am and offered prayers in the sanctum sanctorum and also at the Akal Takht.

The BJP circles here were taken aback by the surprise visit of ‘Panga’ girl, whose political aspirations are not hidden from anyone. A senior BJP leader informed TOI that there could be a possibility of Kangna making a foray into the politics from Himachal Pradesh since she hails from

Mandi

district, where election is due following the alleged suicide of sitting MP Ram Saroop Sharma in March. There has been speculation on social media ever since that Kangna could contest the elections from Mandi Lok Sabha constituency on BJP ticket. Being a Rajput, she has brilliant chances of acceptance among the people, sources added.

There are others who feel that her Amritsar visit serves both her political and professional purposes. Along with the promotion of her upcoming movies ‘Tejas’, ‘Thalaivi’ and ‘Dhaakad’, she could be eyeing Sikh votes in HP. “These are still speculations but something is there,” said sources.

The actor had recently courted controversy following her alleged derogatory remarks against an elderly woman participating in the ongoing farmers’ agitation by calling her “available for Rs 100”. The remark had upset the Sikhs, who sought an unconditional apology from her.

“We will give her Rs 1,000 per day for sitting on dharna, but she should also reveal how much is she getting in daily wages from the Modi government,” a devotee at the Sikh shrine told TOI.
