Kangana Ranaut, a prominent actor and politician representing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, publicly condemned a fabricated post circulating on social media that falsely claimed she would marry Rahul Gandhi, a senior leader of the Indian National Congress, if he joined the BJP. In her response, she expressed disdain for the fake news, stating, 'How pathetic is this fake news. No dignity for women even in politics.' The controversy erupted after a meme page shared a post featuring a made-up quote attributed to her. Recently, Kangana criticized Rahul Gandhi's speech in Parliament regarding women's reservation, describing it as a nuisance. She won her parliamentary seat in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections by a margin of 74,755 votes against Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh. On the film front, Kangana was last seen in Emergency, a film she directed, where she portrayed former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
