Actor-Turned-Politician Kangana Ranaut Claims That She Is The One Who Received Immense Love In Bollywood, Following Amitabh Bachchan!

Infamous for not mincing her words, actor Kangana Ranaut is currently immersed in campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections as she runs as a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate in the Mandi constituency of Himachal Pradesh. While her public speeches have been attracting considerable attention, a recent address during an election rally, where she likened herself to Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, has become a focal point of discussion online.

 

Addressing a 2024 Lok Sabha election rally, Kangana, in a viral video, was seen saying, “Itna pyaar, itna samman... agar Amitabh Bachchan ji ke baad aaj kisi ko industry mai milta hai to wo mujhe milta hai."

“Sara desh hairaan hai, ki wo Kangana, chahe Rajasthan chali jau, chahe mai West Bengal chali jau, chahe mai Delhi chali jau, chahe mai Manipur chali jau, aisa lagta hai ki mano itna pyaar aur itna sammaan… Mein daave se keh sakti hu ke Amitabh Bachchan ji ke baad aaj kisiko industry me milta hai to wo mujhe milta hai (The whole country is surprised… whether I go to Rajasthan, West Bengal, Delhi or Manipur, it feels like there is so much love and respect. I can confidently say that after Amitabh Bachchan, if anyone gets such love and respect in the industry, it is me),” she said during the rally.

The video of her speech has since gone viral, eliciting various reactions from netizens, with many making sarcastic remarks about her comparison to one of Bollywood’s most revered icons, despite her recent string of box office failures. “Kangana’s last hit film came in 2015 and after that she gave back to back 15 flops. Here she is comparing herself to Amitabh Bachchan ,” a verified parody account quipped while sharing the video on X (formerly Twitter).

On Saturday, Kangana attacked the Congress, saying former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's father Motilal Nehru was the "Ambani" of his time but no one knew from where his wealth came from.
