Kangana Ranaut Bollywood’s outspoken star and now a first-time Member of Parliament from Mandi, recently shared an honest confession: she’s not exactly enjoying her political role. In a candid conversation on a podcast, Kangana revealed that politics is nothing like what she imagined, describing it as “more like social service” and admitting she’s still trying to get a hang of it.
Kangana’s Tryst With Politics Isn’t What She Expected
Her transition from red carpets to rural concerns have been jarring. “I’ve lived a very selfish life,” she admitted, reflecting on her years in cinema. “I wanted a big house, a big car, diamonds. I wanted to look good.” But today, instead of scripts and spotlights, her daily life is filled with complaints about broken drains, poor roads, and electricity issues.
“They bring panchayat level problems to me. I am an MP,” she said, visibly agitated. “They come to me to fix a broken naali. And I think, is this even my job?” Her voice was not dismissive, but more bewildered, like someone who’s walked into a room expecting one thing and found something entirely different.
Politics Isn’t Glamorous—And Kangana Makes No Secret of It
Kangana also clarified she has no aspirations to become Prime Minister or climb higher in politics. “I don’t think I’m competent for that, nor do I have the passion,” she said. What she’s realising is that being an elected representative is not about power or popularity it’s about listening, showing up, and often handling the unglamorous work of public service.
Politics, she admitted, is far more “harsh” than acting. There are no retakes, no applause, and certainly no breaks. It’s a full-time commitment, and one that demands more patience than performance.
Still, behind her frustration is a quiet honesty. She’s not pretending to love it. But she’s learning. And in that raw, unfiltered admission, Kangana may be doing what few in politics do telling the truth. She’s not there for the spotlight anymore. She’s there to figure it out, one naali at a time.
