Kangana Ranaut: 'I'm not enjoying politics, people come to me with Panchayat-level problems and...'

Kangana Ranaut began her Bollywood career in the year 2006 with Anurag Basu’s Gangster. She became one of the finest actors of the industry but she forayed into politics and last year, said she would quit acting if she won the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.

Ranaut was quoted saying, “The film world is a lie, everything there is fake. They create a very different environment. It is a glossy world like a fake bubble which is to attract the audience.”

But now, the actress has said while speaking to YouTube channel Atman in Ravi (AIR) that she isn’t enjoying her political career.

The actress said, “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.”

They don’t care. When they see you, they come to you with problems like MLAs, broken roads, and I tell them that’s a state government issue, and they say, ‘You have money, you use your own money.”

Kangana Ranaut, who made her debut in 2006 with Gangster, went on to give several memorable films and bagged awards for her portrayals in Queen, Fashion, Manikarnika, Tanu Weds Manu Returns and others.

After her illustrious career of 18 years in showbiz, she turned politician and is currently the BJP MP. While  _Kangana_ is undoubtedly one of the finest actresses in the industry, she recently made a bold statement claiming that she ‘just hates being an actor’.

“No, acting is not daunting at all…. I think acting for me is too passive.… I just hate being an actor. I just hate it with so much intensity. That I can’t tell you because. You come to the set and you’re always looking ‘what’s happening? You know, What’s going on? Which scene are you doing? You are just always wondering, What’s going on?” she told IANS.
