Kangana Ranaut will quit Bollywood if she wins Mandi constituency in Lok Sabha elections 2024
Kangana Ranaut is contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi constituency as a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate. During a recent interview, she confirmed that she would quit Bollywood upon winning the seat. When asked about the same, Kangana simply responded, “Yes.”
When questioned about managing her commitments between Bollywood and politics, Kangana emphasized her passion-driven approach. “I am a very passionate person. I never wanted to do a job because I had to. Even in films I start writing, and when I get bored of playing a role, I direct or produce, so I have a very fertile mind and I want to be passionately engaged,” she explained.
Furthermore, Kangana Ranaut mentioned the importance of focusing on one career path. Despite acknowledging that many directors would be disappointed by her quitting Bollywood, she seemed resolute. “Yes… mujhe bohot saare filmmakers kehte hain ki humare paas ek acchi heroine hai, please mat jao. Main acchi acting karti hoon, par chalo voh bhi ek accha compliment hai. I take it in my stride (A lot of filmmakers tell me that please don’t go, we have one great heroine. I act well, and it is a great compliment),” she remarked.
Kangana Ranaut’s focus on her political campaign has delayed her upcoming film projects. One of her much-awaited films, Emergency, has been postponed from its original June release date. Despite this, Kangana has reassured her fans and industry colleagues that she intends to complete her ongoing projects.
