'They Bring Panchayat-Level Problems, I Am MP': Kangana Ranaut Admits She Is NOT Enjoying Politics, Says People Visit Her With Broken Naali Issues
Actress-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut, who is currently serving as a Member of Parliament for BJP from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi constituency, admitted that she is not fully enjoying her political stint. She also revealed that while she always stood up for women rights and women empowerment, politics was more of social service and she does not come from that background.
During her chat on Atman in Ravi (AIR) podcast, Kangana unapologetically confessed, "I’m getting a hang of it. I wouldn’t say that I am enjoying it (politics). It’s a very different kind of work, more like social service. This hasn’t been my background. I’ve never thought of serving people."
She went on to say, "I’ve fought for women’s rights, but that’s different... Somebody’s naali is broken, and I’m like, ‘But I am an MP and these people are coming to me with panchayat-level problems’. They don’t care. When they see you, they come to you with problems like broken roads, and I tell them that’s a state government issue, and they say, ‘You have money, you use your own money’."
When asked if she aspires to be the Prime Minister of India someday, the actress said, "I don’t think I’m competent to be the PM of India, nor do I have the necessary passion or inclination."
Explaining her stance, she continued, "Social work has never been my background. I’ve lived a very selfish kind of life. I want to have a big house, a big car, I want to have diamonds. I want to look good. That’s the kind of life I’ve lived."
"I don’t know what purpose God chose me for, but I don’t see my life as this grand sacrifice... I don’t fancy that kind of life, and I don’t wish that upon anyone... I don’t have it in me," she added.
Recently, Kangana was criticised for not visiting her own constituency, Mandi, which was affected by a cloudburst and heavy downpour. The actress was later seen paying a visit and interacting with the locals in the area, promising swift resolution.
