Kangana's old 2021 tweet
In March 2021, Kangana tweeted, "I was given the option of Gwalior during 2019 Lok Sabha elections. HP (Himachal Pradesh) population is hardly 60/70 lakh, no poverty/crime.

The actor was responding to an X user, who had tweeted, "Mark my tweet! Kangana Ranaut will fight by-election from Mandi Lok Sabha Constituency..."
A person commented on the Reddit post, "One thing you should know about actors and politicians – they always do the exact opposite of what they say in public." Another reacted to what Kangana wrote in her original 2021 tweet, "'Be the queen I am' – my entire being cringed so hard OMG (Oh my god)."
A third remarked, "Of all the actors ever to become a politician, Kangana fits the bill. She was/is a good actor, but her offscreen antics weren't great (some were good). But she fits the politician bill to the T."
