Kangana clarified the situation
Lately, the actress has been spending a lot of her time doing politics-related work, which has left fans wondering if she is quitting the film world. The actress spoke about the buzz at the trailer launch of her new film Emergency.
“Whether I will continue acting, I think that is a question I want people to decide. For example, I never said I want to be a leader. People should say you should be a leader. Whether a party conducts a survey or whatever the criteria is to give you a ticket, it is people’s choice that I should contest elections. Now, tomorrow if the emergency works and if they want to see more of me, if I feel I can succeed, I will continue,” Kangana said.
“Otherwise, if I feel I have had more success in politics and I am needed there more… we go where we feel needed, respected and valued. I will let life decide for me. I have no plans that I will go here or there. I am fine anywhere where I am needed or whatever is needed,” she said.
BJP candidate Kangana won the Mandi Lok Sabha seat by a margin of 74,755 votes against her Congress rival Vikramaditya Singh. A day after the victory, she was slapped by a CISF officer at the Chandigarh airport. After the incident, she also released a video in which she assured her followers that she was safe and had not been harmed.
