Kangana Ranaut, who serves as a member of parliament for Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, is finding it challenging to juggle her political duties with her acting career.
In a recent interview with Variety, Kangana revealed the difficulties she faces balancing both roles. “Being a parliamentarian is incredibly demanding,” she said. “With the recent floods in my area, I’m constantly on the move to ensure everything is managed properly in Himachal.”
The ongoing floods have further strained her already packed schedule, impacting her film projects. Kangana admitted that her political responsibilities are affecting her acting career. “My film work is suffering. My projects are on hold, and I can’t start my shoots,” she explained. She’s currently waiting for parliamentary sessions, such as the winter session, to better coordinate her filming schedule.
Despite these hurdles, Kangana remains dedicated to both her political and acting roles. She expressed her willingness to prioritize whichever role demands her attention more. “I’m very open to whatever engages me more, and I’ll choose that path. Right now, my life is extremely busy,” she said.
On the film front, fans are eagerly anticipating the third installment of the Tanu Weds Manu series, where Kangana plays a central role. Although Kangana confirmed her involvement last year, director Aanand L. Rai recently noted that the story for Tanu Weds Manu 3 is still in development. “With Tanu Weds Manu Returns, we introduced Datto. All the characters are asking for a third part. We’ll proceed once we have a compelling story that fits Tanu, Manu, and Datto,” Rai stated.
