Impressively indelible in her cinematic roles, Kangana Ranaut is now taking a significant leap into her political career. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has fielded her from the Mandi seat in Himachal Pradesh for the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Kangana's entry into politics isn't entirely surprising as she has often voiced her political opinions. Just last November, she hinted at her political aspirations.
Known as the 'Queen of Bollywood' for her outstanding acting, Kangana made her debut with Anurag Basu's 'Gangster' in 2006. Throughout her career, she has mesmerized audiences with performances in hits like 'Life in a...Metro,' 'Fashion,' 'Raaz: The Mystery Continues,' 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai,' 'Queen,' 'Tanu Weds Manu,' 'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi,' and 'Panga.' Let’s delve into how wealthy Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut is and how much she earns from her movies.
Born into a family historically connected to politics, Kangana Ranaut arrived into this world on March 23, 1987, in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh. With a mother who's a school teacher and a businessman father, she carries a legacy of her great-grandfather, Sarju Singh Ranaut, who was a legislator. However, no one from her immediate family pursued an active political career. Kangana, who studied in Chandigarh, shunned the family’s wish for her to become a doctor and instead forged her own path to success.
