Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut who is estimated to be leading from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh as per trends by the Election Commission, hit back at rival Congress candidate Vikramaditya Singh who made remarks that she will pack up and return after the elections to Mumbai leaving Mandi behind.


Speaking with ANI, Kangana said, "They will have to suffer the consequences of talking so low about a woman... And that is becoming clear today with the way we have got the lead. Mandi has not taken kindly to the insults for daughters."


She further said, "As far as my departure to Mumbai is concerned, this (Himachal Pradesh) is my 'janmabhoomi' and I will continue to serve people here. I have always said that I will work as a soldier in PM Narendra Modi's goal of 'Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas.' So, I am not going anywhere. Perhaps, someone else will have to pack their bags and leave. I am not going anywhere."


Kangana was seen to be leading from the seat by a margin of 42,851 votes, according to the latest Election Commission of India.

As per ECI, Kangana Ranaut garnered 3,34,447 votes after about two hours of the start of counting of votes at 8 am with Vikramaditya Singh trailing behind with 2,91,596 votes.

Earlier in the day, Kangana offered prayers at her residence and shared pictures with her mother with the caption, "Mother is the form of God, today my mother is feeding me curd and sugar.”

The Mandi constituency holds symbolic significance for the Congress, as it is considered a bastion of the Virbhadra family. The seat is currently held by Pratibha Devi Singh, the late leader's widow. She wrested the seat for the Congress in the bye-election that was held following the demise of then-BJP MP Ram Swaroop Sharma.

Meanwhile, Kangana will be next seen in 'Emergency' which also marks her first solo-directorial film. It revolves around the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and features Kangana in the titular role of the late politician. Apart from Kangana, the film stars Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhry, Vishak Nair, and Shreyas Talpade in prominent roles.
