Actor Kangana Ranaut on Tuesday won the Mandi constituency of Himachal Pradesh, defeating her closest rival Vikramaditya Singh of the Congress by 74,755 votes, according to the Election Commission website. Ranaut, a first-time contender for the BJP, received 537022 votes in her first Lok Sabha election as a political leader, the website stated. After the result announcement, the 37-year-old shared a video on her official X page in which she can be seen signing official documents. "Mandi ki sansad," Ranaut captioned her post. Hours before, the four-time National Award winner had shared an Instagram post thanking the people from her constituency for her forthcoming victory.

The Queen actor had also shared photos with her mother Asha feeding her 'dahi-shakkar' for good luck after early trends put her ahead of Singh. Ranaut, who made her acting debut at the age of 17 with Anurag Basu's 200g film "Gangster", was not the only actor who sought votes from citizens; others being another newcomer "Ramayan" star Arun Govil (Meerut), two-time Mathura MP Hema Malini, and TMC candidate Shatrughan Sinha from Asansol in the fray. Ranaut -- who hails from the Mandi constituency -- was certainly the most talked about contender among them, who ran her entire campaign on being the daughter of the soil. She also gained public sympathy due to derogatory comments from opposition leaders for her acting background.

The Padma Shri recipient, a firebrand actor who had once famously called out Karan Johar as the "flagbearer of nepotism" and sparked a debate on insider versus outsider in Bollywood, is looking forward to starting a new chapter in life as a BJP MP. Even before she was officially announced as the BJP Mandi candidate, Ranaut was an outspoken supporter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and backed the leader on issues such as the Citizenship (Amendment) Act in 2019-20 and farmers' protests and was also invited to the grand consecration ceremony of the idol of Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's Ram temple.
