Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut expressed her shock and frustration over receiving a Rs 1 lakh electricity bill for her Manali home. During a recent political event in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, the actress took a strong stand against the state’s ruling party, accusing them of financial mismanagement. She highlighted how she hardly spends time at that home while wondering how the amount could be so high.
Kangana Ranaut on high electricity bill of her Manali home
During a recent political event in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, Kangana slammed the ruling party of the state for financial mismanagement. Expressing her shock, the actress said, “Iss mahine mere Manali ka ghar ka 1 lakh bijli ka bill aaya, jaha main rehti bhi nahi hoon. Itni durdasha ki hui hai. Hum padhte hai aur sharmindagi hoti hai ke yeh kya ho raha hai. (I received an electricity bill of Rs 1 lakh for my house in Manali this month, despite the fact that I am hardly ever there. It is such a miserable condition. I read it and feel ashamed as to what is happening).“
“Par hamare paas ek mauka hain, aap sab jo mere bhai behen hain, aap log ground pe itna kaam karte hain. Yeh hum sabka hi dayitva hai, ke hame is desh ko, is pradesh ko, unnati ke raaste par chalana hai. Main toh kahungi yeh bhediya hi hai, aur hame hamare pradesh ko inki chungul se nikalna hai (But we have a chance, all of you who are my brothers and sisters, you people do so much work on the ground. This is an obligation for all of us, we have to take this country, this state, on the path of progress. I would say that these are wolves, and we have to free our state from their claws),” Kangana added.
Ms Ranaut’s statement quickly drew a response from the Himachal Pradesh Congress unit who termed her as “unfair” and “irresponsible”. They said, “This is unfair on Kangana’s part. She has a serious responsibility. This statement was made for cheap publicity. She should write to the officials concerned.”
Workwise, Kangana’s last release was political drama Emergency. While Kangana was praised for her act, the film failed to perform at the box office.
