In reference to Sonia Gandhi, actor and BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, Kangana Ranaut claimed on Thursday that Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, was the victim of an “ambitious” mother. Ranaut claimed that Sonia Gandhi “pressed” and “forced” Rahul Gandhi and his sister Priyanka Gandhi into politics.
She said, “Rahul Gandhi is a victim of an ambitious mother. As we have seen in the film ‘3 Idiots’, kids themselves become the victims of parivarvaad. Same is the situation with Rahul Gandhi.”
Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, according to Ranaut, should have been free to live their own lives instead of being “tortured” by their mother in order to continue in politics.
She added that even at his age of 50, Rahul Gandhi was always being “relaunched” as a young leader. “I feel he is being pressured and is very lonely,” she stated.
Ranaut added, “Rahul Gandhi should have done something else and maybe tried his hand at acting. He could have become a good actor. His mother is one of the richest women in the world. There is no dearth of wealth. There have been rumours that he is romantically involved with a woman, but he is not getting married.”
“I was in the film industry for 20 years and had a lavish life. I don’t see myself as a neta (politician). I am just a BJP candidate out there to serve the people,” she continued.
Talking about Supriya Shirnate’s post, she said, “It is very painful. At a time when men are going out to make their careers, women are told to cover themselves and wear their dresses properly. In a way, women have been sexualised. This should not be done.”
