Kangana Ranaut finds political campaigning more challenging: ‘Filmi struggle is a joke in front of this hustle’

Kangana Ranaut, the Bollywood actress, spoke out about how taxing political campaigning is compared to working in movies. She has been aggressively and vigorously campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections.

The actress was quoted as saying, "Filmi's struggle about making movies is like a joke in front of this hustle." The Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) fielded Kangana Ranaut for Himachal Pradesh's Mandi constituency. The state is scheduled to vote in the last phase, Phase 7, on June 1.
