Actor Kangana Ranaut, star of movies such as Queen and Tanu Weds Manu, is leading from the Mandi Lok Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh on her electoral debut.
Ranaut, no stranger to controversy, is going up against Congress’ Vikramaditya Singh, the son of former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh.
Ranaut is leading by over 50,000 votes from Mandi.
As the vote counting for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections continues, most celebrity candidates from various constituencies nationwide are in the lead, with BJP’s Suresh Gopi and Hema Malini excelling in their respective segments. While Suresh is ahead of their rivals by over 50,000 votes each, sitting MP Hema Malini (BJP, Mathura) has a lead exceeding 1,50,000 votes.
While BJP’s Kangana Ranaut contested from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, actor Arun Govil was the saffron party candidate in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, and Suresh Gopi in Thrissur, Kerala.
