Kangana Ranaut says working in films is easier than being a politician

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut recently won the Lok Sabha elections 2024 from Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh on a BJP ticket. In a recent interview, the actress admitted that she found working in films much more easy thanworking as a politician.

What Kangana said

During an interview to The Himachal Podcast, Kangana said in Hindi, “This is not the first time I was approached to join politics. I have received several other offers in the past. After my debut Gangster, I was offered a ticket. My great-grandfather was an MLA for at least three terms. So when you belong to such a family, and taste some success, the local leaders approach you. It is very common. In fact, my father had also received an offer. My sister was offered to join politics after she survived an acid attack. So for us, it is not a big deal for us to get political offers…If I wasn’t interested in this, I didn’t really have to go through so much trouble.”

On politics and films

Kangana added, "I am a person who goes with passion. Even in the film industry, I am an actor, writer, director and producer. Here in my political career, if I have to engage myself with the people here, I will go ahead with it. There is no compulsion. However, I won’t deny that the work in the film industry is comparatively easier than in politics. The latter takes a lot of effort. This is a harsh life, just like doctors, where only troubled people come to see you. When you go to watch a film, you are very relaxed. But, politics is not like that.”
