Kangana Ranaut says it's 'the right time' for her to enter politics: 'My nationalist image has taken over my very glorious acting career'

Kangana Ranaut, who is known for her outspoken nature and bold opinions, has often courted controversy for her vocal stance on various social and political issues. She has now hinted at her intention to enter politics, stating that it's "the right time" for her to take the plunge.

Speaking to TV9 Bharatvarsh, Kangana said that she has literally fought from film sets with political parties, adding that she does not need a seat to do what she wants to do for the country. "But, if I want to get into politics, I probably think this is the right time," Kangana stated. However, she also maintained that she does not have any immediate plans to contest elections since she is an actor first.

She pointed out that she has represented pan-India through her roles, from depicting characters hailing from the South in films like Thalaivii and Chandramukhi 2 to portraying Delhi girls in Queen and Tanu Weds Manu, and essaying women from Haryana in Tanu Weds Manu Returns, along with her directorial debut Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, where she essayed the role of freedom fighter Rani Lakshmibai.




"This country has given me so much, I feel deeply responsible to give back. I have always been more of a nationalist, and that image has taken over even my very glorious acting career. I do have the awareness that I am deeply loved and appreciated," Kangana expressed.



Kangana's recent attendance at the Ram Temple consecration in Ayodhya also fueled speculation about her potential political career. Last year, when Kangana was asked if she would contest in the next Lok Sabha elections, she said, "Shri Krishna ki kripa rahi to ladenge (If Lord Krishna showers blessings, I will fight).”
