Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has issued a clarification after a controversial picture surfaced on social media over the last few days. In the photograph, Kangana can be seen with a man, suspected to be a dreaded gangster Abu Salem. The image is being widely circulated on the internet.&nbsp; 
 
Kangana has now responded to the viral image and has claimed that the man in the picture is a former journalist.&nbsp; 
 
Kangana is currently the Bharatiya Janata Party's candidate for Himachal Pradesh's Mandi Lok Sabha seat.

What Kangana Ranaut said 
 
Kangana shared a screenshot of the picture, in which she was seen smiling with a man, and wrote in the caption, “Desperate Congress officials are spreading this picture with the caption that I am partying with Gangster Abu Salem, this is utterly disrespectful to journalist Mr Mark Manuel who is ex entertainment editor of times of India. He is not Abu Salem and this picture is from one of the film promotion event parties."

Last week, Kangana shared series of pictures with PM Narendra Modi, who had visited Mandi on May 24 and addressed a rally. She greeted the PM and handed him a red rose in one of the photos. In a public meeting, she expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work under PM Modi's leadership and said, "The day has arrived to work under the guidance of PM Modi. Hailing PM Modi is like showing a candle to the sun himself. The technical and modern developmental works he has done are tremendous. Now I'm too part of his team and committed to the developmental works for Mandi as a party worker." 
 
Meanwhile, Kangana will be next seen in Emergency, in which she plays former Indian PM Indira Gandhi. It is written by Ritesh Shah, and directed by Kangana. Besides Kangana, actors Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Mahima Chaudhry, Satish Kaushik and Shreyas Talpade will also be seen in key roles in the film. The release date of the film is not yet known.&nbsp;
