Many actors-turned-politicians contested this year`s general elections from different constituencies, where they saw an incredible response. While some continue to dominate in their region, it wasn`t that fruitful for other stars.
However, the Tanu Weds Manu actress continues to rule Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, as she is about 40,000 votes ahead of her arch-rival in the constituency. This marks her debut in Indian politics.
Amid the Lok Sabha election results, let`s have a look at some of Kangana Ranaut`s most controversial and shocking tweets that took the internet by storm.
1. Bollywood vs. Hinduism
After Shah Rukh Khan`s Pathaan took over the Bollywood box office with monstrous numbers, many celebrities were of the opinion that the film paints Pakistan in a good light.Karan Johar and Alia Bhatt spoke about how love triumphs over hate, and Kangana warned the industry not to mix politics with movies.
Bollywood walon yeh narrative banane ki koshish mat karna ki iss desh mein tum Hindu hate se suffer kar rahe ho, agar maine phir se yeh word suna ‘triumph over hate’ toh tum logon ki wahi class lagegi jo kal lagi thi, enjoy your success and do good work, stay away from politics.
— Kangana Ranaut (Modi Ka Parivar) (@KanganaTeam) January 28, 2023
Taking it to X (formerly known as Twitter), she wrote, "Bollywood walon yeh narrative banane ki koshish mat karna ki iss desh mein tum Hindu hate se suffer kar rahe ho, agar maine phir se yeh word suna `triumph over hate` toh tum logon ki wahi class lagegi jo kal lagi thi (Bollywood people, do not try to project that you are suffering from Hindu hate in this country. If I hear another comment on `triumph over hate`, I will take your class). Enjoy your success and do good work; stay away from politics."
2. Never contesting from Himachal Pradesh
The actor-turned-politician`s old tweet resurfaced on the internet the moment she announced Mandi as her constituency. In her old statement, Kangana Ranaut commented on how Himachal Pradesh is a rather smaller region for her to contest.In March 2021, an X user predicted, “Mark my tweet! Kangana Ranaut will fight by-election from Mandi Lok Sabha Constituency.” For the uninitiated, Himachal is her hometown.

Replying to the same tweet, the Gangster actress wrote, “I was given the option of Gwalior during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. The HP (Himachal Pradesh) population is hardly 60–70 lakh, with no poverty or crime. If I get into politics, I want a state with complexities I can work on and be the queen in that field as well. Small fry like you won’t understand big talks.”
3. Beef with red meat
Earlier in April this year, Kangana Ranaut had to clarify her Hindu identity by emphasizing that she does not eat beef or any kind of red meat. This came amid online rumors that suggested she was a heavy meat eater.I don’t consume beef or any other kind of red meat, it is shameful that completely baseless rumours are being spread about me, I have been advocating and promoting yogic and Ayurvedic way of life for decades now such tactics won’t work to tarnish my image. My people know me and…

"I don`t consume beef or any other kind of red meat; it is shameful that completely baseless rumors are being spread about me. I have been advocating and promoting a yogic and Ayurvedic way of life for decades now; such tactics won`t work to tarnish my image," the Queen actress said.
She further added, "My people know me, and they know that I am a proud Hindu, and nothing can ever mislead them, Jai Shri Ram."
