The offer came even after the release of ‘Gangster’
While talking to The Himachal Podcast, Kangana revealed that her family members have received offers from local political leaders several times to join politics.
The actress said, ‘This was not the first time I was approached to join politics. I was offered a ticket immediately after my debut film ‘Gangster’. My great grandfather was also an MLA. So my family has already been quite active in politics. My father also got an offer. When my sister Rangoli survived an acid attack, she also got an offer to join politics.’
The actress claimed that she had received an offer to join politics in the early days of her career.
I will not disappoint the people of Mandi
In the interview, Kangana further said, ‘I was approached in 2019 as well. If I was not ready for this, I would not have faced so much trouble. I am not looking at it as just a break. This was a very difficult decision and I am ready for it.
I think God has given me this opportunity. The people of Mandi have given me this opportunity because they want someone who can save them from corrupt people. I will not disappoint them.

Working in films is easier than politics
Talking about balancing politics and acting, Kangana said, ‘I am someone who follows her passion. I am an actor, writer, director and producer in the film industry as well. Similarly, I will do whatever I can in my political career.
Yes, I agree that working in films is easier than doing politics. It takes a lot of effort here.
