Kangana Ranaut celebrates ageing
The actor-turned-politician took to Instagram to share a series of photos flaunting her curly hair, and penned a candid note on the joy of ageing. She wrote, “My pilgrim soul never feared ageing, but when my film crew saw grey hair, they panicked and used mascaras/colour sprays. Happy to be in a place where my ageing face or body doesn't take anything away from me. Ageing is such a joy.”
Kangana also compared her experience in politics to that in film, saying she now feels more at peace because her appearance no longer defines her. “Do you guys think politics is kinder to older women than movies? I definitely think so. #nofilter used in this picture #joyofaging #delhivibes. The most beautiful place in the world is where there is no gap between who you are and how you are perceived.”
Kangana is currently serving as the BJP Member of Parliament from the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh. She frequently shares glimpses of her time in Parliament on social media.
