Kangana Ranaut revealed she was informed she’d need to be in Parliament only 60–70 days, sparking debates on celebrity MPs and responsibilities.
The Bollywood actress-turned-politician made headlines yet again when she openly spoke about her expectations versus reality as a Member of Parliament. During an interaction, Kangana mentioned that when she agreed to enter politics and contest the elections, she was told that her Parliament attendance requirement would be minimal — just 60 to 70 days per year.
While some netizens viewed this comment as naïve or tone-deaf, others defended her, stating that this reflects the lack of transparency and clarity in how politicians are briefed before assuming office. The statement quickly gained attention across social media and news platforms, reigniting conversations about how celebrity politicians are integrated into serious legislative roles.
Many political observers believe that Kangana’s statement, whether misinformed or misinterpreted, has brought to light the casual attitude sometimes adopted when inducting public figures into political roles. Her fans, however, applauded her honesty and expressed confidence that she would rise to the occasion.
As the newly elected MP from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, all eyes are on Kangana Ranaut to see how she performs in her new role — beyond the limelight of Bollywood and into the demanding world of Indian governance.
