Actress and BJP candidate from the Mandi Lok Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh, Kangana Ranaut, sought blessings from her mother, whom she described as "ishwar ka roop", ahead of the results of the 18th Lok Sabha election results.

Kangana took to her Instagram stories and shared two pictures. She shared the pictures as the counting in Himachal Pradesh saw her leading in Mandi by a big margin.

In the first image, her mother, Asha Ranaut, is seen feeding the actress "dahi cheeni," which is considered auspicious and eaten before doing anything good.

The actress captioned the image: "Maa ka aashirwad."

The next image shows the actress' mother affectionately kissing her forehead.

"Maa ishwar ka roop hai," she wrote in the caption.

According to the Election Commission's early trends, Kangana is leading with over 50,000 votes as of 12 pm against Vikramaditya Singh, the Congress candidate.

As the results are underway, according to early trends by the Election Commission, Kangana is leading against Vikramaditya Singh, a candidate from the Indian National Congress (INC) contesting from the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh.

After casting her vote on Saturday, Kangana said, "I am hopeful that the people of Mandi will bless me, and we will get all four seats of the state."

On the work front:

Kangana Ranaut's next film 'Emergency' was postponed recently owing to her busy schedule dedicated to campaigning for the election.

Taking to social media, Kangana Ranaut's Manikarnika Films announced that the film will have a new release date as the actor-politician is occupied with her Lok Sabha 2024 Elections campaign. The actress-turned-politician is contesting from the Bharatiya Janata Party and has been occupied with her political commitments for the Mandi constituency. Due to this, she has prioritised her duties to the nation and her role as a politician over the release of her film, showcasing her dedication to both her country and party.

In an interview with ANI, Kangana said that she is not going to leave the film industry. "I cannot leave the industry right now as many of my films are pending," she said.

Written, directed, and produced by Kangana Ranaut, Emergency's release date, as promised by the makers, will be announced soon. ‘Emergency' also features Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhary, Milind Soman, Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, and the late Satish Kaushik in pivotal roles. Produced by Zee Studios and Manikarnika Films, ‘Emergency' is touted to be the actress's most ambitious project to date. The film's music is orchestrated by Sanchit Balhara with screenplay and dialogues by Ritesh Shah.
