Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut, who is contesting as the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh for the Lok Sabha seat, has disclosed assets totalling over Rs. 91 crore in her election affidavit. The 37-year-old actor-turned-politician's assets comprise Rs. 28.7 crore in movable assets and Rs 62.9 crore in immovable assets.
According to the reports in NDTV, India Today and several other reports, Kangana holds Rs. 2 lakh in cash and nearly Rs 1.35 crore in her bank accounts. She possesses properties in Mumbai, Punjab, and Manali, along with three luxury cars – a BMW, a Mercedes Benz, and a Mercedes Maybach – valued at Rs 3.91 crore. Additionally, she owns 6.7 kg of gold, estimated at Rs. 5 crore, 60 kg of silver valued at Rs. 50 lakh, and 14-carat diamond jewellery worth Rs. 3 crore. The actor also has 50 Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) policies under her name, while her total liabilities stand at Rs. 7.3 crore.
Educationally, Kangana completed her Class 12 from a private school in Chandigarh. However, alongside her assets, her election affidavit also reveals that she faces legal troubles, with a total of eight criminal cases registered against her. Three of these cases are for allegedly hurting religious sentiments.
In comparison, her opponent in the election, Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh, has declared assets worth approximately Rs. 96.70 crore.
The Mandi Lok Sabha constituency in Himachal Pradesh is scheduled to go to polls on June 1st, marking the 7th and final phase of the Parliament elections. Kangana, expressing her aspirations, stated that she hopes this is not her first and last time contesting, and looks forward to more opportunities to file nominations from Mandi in the future. Vikramaditya Singh had filed his nomination on April 9.
