Kangana on her political career
During the event, Kangana was asked if she would contest the Lok Sabha elections this year, to which the actress laughingly said that it is not the place to reveal whether she will be contesting or not. She further said, “It has never kept me away from being a really aware person. I have done more than anyone could from this so-called seat for the country.”
“I have literally fought from film sets with political parties. That doesn’t keep me away, it doesn’t take me a seat to do what I want to do for my country. But, if I want to get into politics, I probably think this is the right time.”
Speaking about the love she has received from this country and its people, Kangana said that she has done roles in South, have portrayed girls from Haryana, Delhi and Jhansi ki Rani from central India. “This country and its people have given me wings, love from all corners,” she said.
“I have always been more of a nationalist and that image has taken over even my very glorious acting career. I do have the awareness that I am deeply loved and appreciated,” she further stated.
Kangana will be seen next in Emergency in which she will be playing the role of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Apart from featuring in the film, she will also be directing the movie. The film will hit the theatres on June 14.
