Mumbai: Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut reacted to link-up rumours with her ‘Miley Na Miley Hum’ co-star and politician Chirag Paswan, stating that there is no romantic relationship between them.
The duo sparked a buzz on social media in 2024 after they were seen sharing a light-hearted moment while arriving in Parliament.
Asked about the online chatter about their supposed ‘romance’, Kangana told ANI, “No, no, Chirag is a friend. When I see him, I think of a friend. There’s no romance happening, let me be honest. We know each other for like… He did his film with me 10 years ago. Agar romance hota toh aaj humare bachche hotey (If it wasn’t then… If it was romance, then today we would have had children).”
“If I wanted to have romance, then it would have happened. It’s not happening. You know, like, it’s just that… that friendly vibe, you know, which you get from somebody who, who’s just kind of your, you know, your type as in like he, he’s from also in a way from film industry. So I feel very good around him,” Kangana added.
Kangana is a BJP Member of Parliament (MP) from Himachal’s Mandi, while Chirag is the Union Minister of Food Processing Industries since June 2024, being an MP from Hajipur, Bihar.
The two had shared screen space in the 2011 romantic drama ‘Miley Na Miley Hum’, directed by Tanveer Khan.
The film marked Paswan’s acting debut, and Kangana played the female lead alongside Neeru Bajwa and Sagarika Ghatge.
Kangana was last seen in ‘Emergency’, a biopic on former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, which received mixed reviews and a modest box-office response.
She has since resumed work on her next project, ‘Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata’, announced in 2024 as a tribute to unsung real-life heroes. Filming began in early January.
She will also star in an untitled psychological thriller opposite R. Madhavan, marking their reunion after over a decade, with the project already underway.
Among other work, Kangana will feature in the sequel to ‘Queen’, the 2013 film for which she won the National Award for Best Actress.
