Will Kangana Ranaut quit acting if she wins and becomes MP? 

During her busy election schedule, Kangana revealed that she's ready to quit acting if she wins the elections. 

Speaking to an Indian news channel Aaj Tak, the National Award-winning actress said although she has been advised that she's a good actor and should not consider leaving Bollywood, but if she wins in the elections, she might consider saying goodbye to acting. 

''Mujhe bohot saare filmmakers kehte hain ki humare paas ek achchhi heroine hai, please mat jao. Main achchhi acting karti hoon, par chalo voh bhi ek achchha compliment hai. I take it in my stride (Several filmmakers say that they have one good actress, and please don't go. I am a good actor and I take its as a compliment).''
