The internet loves a political-meets-Bollywood twist, and for a while, that’s exactly what people thought was brewing between Kangana Ranaut and Chirag Paswan. But Kangana has now cleared the air — and she didn’t leave much room for confusion.
Speaking in a recent interview, Kangana directly addressed the speculation that started back in 2024, when the two were seen sharing a light moment while entering Parliament. The clip went viral, and soon enough, social media started building its own story around it.
Now, Kangana says — there’s nothing there.
She called Chirag a friend, plain and simple. According to her, they’ve known each other for years, going back to their film days. In fact, she even joked that if there was anything romantic between them, it would have happened long ago. That one line pretty much shut down the rumours instantly.
What she did admit, though, is that there’s comfort. The kind that comes from knowing someone from a similar background. Both have a connection to films before politics, and that shared space seems to be where their bond sits — familiar, easy, but not romantic.
For context, Kangana and Chirag had worked together in Miley Na Miley Hum back in 2011, which marked Chirag’s debut in Bollywood. Since then, their paths shifted — Kangana moved deeper into cinema and then politics with the BJP, while Chirag stepped fully into active politics and now serves as a Union Minister.
That’s why the viral Parliament moment caught attention. It wasn’t random — it was two people with a shared past crossing paths again in a completely different space. But as Kangana makes clear now, people read too much into it.
On the work front, Kangana has been balancing both cinema and politics. Her recent film Emergency, where she played Indira Gandhi, received mixed reactions and didn’t exactly set the box office on fire. Still, she’s moving ahead with multiple projects, including Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, which focuses on unsung heroes.
She’s also set to reunite with R. Madhavan for a psychological thriller, and there’s ongoing talk around a Queen sequel — a film that remains one of the biggest milestones in her career.
So for now, the story ends here — no hidden romance, no political pairing, just two old co-stars who happen to meet in the same corridors of power years later.
