Kangana Ranaut has once again stirred conversation online, this time for supporting Union Minister Suresh Gopi’s wish to step away from politics. Taking to Instagram, Kangana reposted a news article about the minister’s statement and added her own perspective on the financial and emotional toll of political life.

“Politics is a very harsh profession and the most underpaid job ever. There are too many expenses, and artists are ridiculed and judged if they give time to their own profession also,” Kangana wrote on her story.

Kangana further added, “Like this, no honest achiever would want to work for the welfare of people. People need to change their perception of working professionals in the field of politics. We should be allowed to work for our respective professions even if we hold office or important portfolios.”

Her comments came after Suresh Gopi, at a recent event, expressed that he never aspired to be a minister at the cost of his film career, “I am saying here with sincerity that Sadanandan Master should be made a (Union) minister after removing me. I believe that it will become a new chapter in the political history of Kerala.”

Kangana, who contested and won the 2024 Lok Sabha elections from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, continues to juggle her political duties with her acting career. She was last seen in Emergency, portraying former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, a project she also directed.
