Kangana Ranaut Says Political Career Drains Her Alot And Enjoys Movies More, Watch Video | Exclusive
Kangana Ranaut is one of the few actors in the industry, who is known to speak her mind out. She often receives praise for her opinions on the dark side of the entertainment industry, her struggles and her risky career trajectory. The actor-turned-politician has been in Bollywood for nearly 18 years. Voicing her ideas during the promotion of her upcoming film ‘Emergency,’ Kangana has spoken about her early days, people in the industry and more. During a press conference in Delhi, she spoke about striking a balance between her acting and political professions. Answering India.com, she said, “It’s very hectic, especially the conflict of interest. Now that I am promoting my film, everybody keeps asking questions about my political career, it also gets very confusing. I wouldn’t want to have so many media interactions.
Responding to what she enjoys more out of the two professions, Kangana Ranaut said, “When you’re in public service, there’re a lot of responsibilities and they can drain you but when it comes to filmmaking, I enjoy it a lot.” She was one of the few Bollywood celebrities, who publicly endorsed the Bharatiya Janata Party and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, referring to herself as the leader’s fan in a field where performers typically keep their political allegiances hidden.

About Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency
The release of Emergency, the biographical political drama that will include actor Kangana Ranaut directing for the first time, has reportedly been delayed due to mounting controversy. This news comes days after the actor and Mandi Lok Sabha MP said that “threats” were directed towards members of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), causing the film’s clearance to be “stopped.” The updated release date for the movie has not yet been disclosed.
The controversy started soon after the trailer of the political drama, Emergency. The leader of the separatist Khalistan movement, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, was shown offering to support Indira’s political party in return for a separate Sikh state. In response, the Shiromani Akali Dal’s Delhi unit issued the CBFC a formal notice seeking that the film’s release be put on hold due to concerns over how Sikhs are portrayed in it. Sikh institutions such as the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and the Akal Takht also responded angrily to the trailer.
