Kangana Ranaut while speaking to reporters after casting her vote at a polling station in Khar area in Mumbai on Monday, said, "This (polling day) is a very important day for us, it comes only once in five years. I feel India is gaining independence today in real sense. Earlier, Indians were slaves of British, Mughal and Italian governments. Please exercise your Swaraj (independence) and vote."

The 'Italian government' remark is an apparent reference to UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi, who was born and raised in Italy. Gandhi was the president of the Congress party for nearly two decades before handing over responsibilities to her son Rahul Gandhi in December 2017. Kangana Ranaut went on to say that the situation that prevailed in the country was the worst during Congress' government at the Centre.

Kangana Ranaut further added, "The political leaders used to chill in London and the country used to suffer from an array of issues like poverty, pollution, rapes etc. The situation in our country was worst when Congress was in power. Now that our time has come, we should vote in large numbers."

On the work front, Kangana Ranaut essays the role of a kabbadi player in Ashwiny Iyer Tiwary's upcoming film Panga, along with an ensemble cast of Richa Chadha, Pankaj Tripathi and Neena Gupta, among others.

Panga revolves around a family that laughs, cries and dreams together. Kangana Ranaut-starrer is scheduled to release on January 24, 2020.
