Bharatiya Janata Party’s candidate and actor Kangana Ranaut has won over Congress’s royal scion Vikramaditya Singh in Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi. Kangana’s campaign benefitted from strong support from top party leaders, including PM Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah. After her win, Kangana was seen proudly posing with her winning certificate.
Kangana Ranaut was all smiles as she posed with the prestigious document. The actress wore a pink saree with a pearl necklace for this momentous day in her life. Kangana also made a victory sign with her hands.
The Bollywood actress-turned-politician also took to X and shared her reaction to her debut win. She dubbed her victory ‘a victory of faith in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’. Sharing a picture collage featuring PM Modi, Kangana said, “Heartfelt gratitude to all Mandi residents for this support, this love and trust This victory is of all of you, this is the victory of faith in Prime Minister Modi and BJP, this is the victory of Sanatan, this is the victory of the honour of Mandi.”
Earlier in the day, Kangana had also shared pictures of her mother feeding her curd and sugar spoons to wish her luck. “Mother is the form of God, today my mother is feeding me curd and sugar,” she said.
Kangana contested from Mandi, her hometown, in Himachal Pradesh. The actress had announced she would be running for elections last month. On Tuesday, June 4, the Election Commission of India revealed she had gotten 524079 votes. Kangana was competing against Congress’s Vikramaditya Singh.
Speaking with ANI earlier in the day, Kangana said, “Mandi has not taken kindly to the insults for daughters. As far as my departure to Mumbai is concerned, this (Himachal Pradesh) is my ‘janmabhoomi’ and I will continue to serve people here…So, I am not going anywhere. Perhaps, someone else will have to pack their bags and leave. I am not going anywhere.”
On the acting front, Kangana will soon be seen in Emergency. The film is based on the Emergency declared under the Indira Gandhi leadership and she will be seen playing the lead role. Kangana is also directing the film. In a viral interview earlier, Kangana had hinted that if she wins the Mandi seat, she will fulfil her pending film commitments and then leave the industry to focus on politics full-time.
