Kangana Ranaut's feud with Urmila Matondkar resurfaces ahead of election bid

In a surprising turn of events, Kangana Ranaut, known for her fiery statements and unapologetic demeanour, is gearing up to contest the Lok Sabha elections in 2024 on a BJP ticket from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. However, this decision comes as no shock to many, given her vocal support for the party and her staunch political opinions.

The actress's journey into politics was marked by controversy in 2020 when she engaged in a highly publicized feud with actor-turned-politician Urmila Matondkar. Kangana stirred up a storm when she referred to Matondkar as 'a soft porn star' during an interview with Times Now, igniting a fierce exchange of words between the two.

Kangana's comments, which came in response to derogatory remarks made by Matondkar about her, sparked outrage and debate across the country. Matondkar, who had ventured into politics as a Congress candidate in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, condemned Kangana's remarks and criticized her for disrespecting veteran actor Jaya Bachchan.

Despite the backlash, Kangana remained steadfast in her stance, defending her statements and asserting her right to express her opinions freely. Meanwhile, Matondkar's political journey took a different turn when she resigned from Congress and joined Shiv Sena in 2020, further adding fuel to the ongoing feud between the two actresses turned politicians.

As the Lok Sabha elections draw nearer, all eyes are on Kangana Ranaut as she navigates the complex terrain of Indian politics, facing both admiration and criticism for her bold and unconventional approach.
