Kangana Ranaut’s Salary Claim Sparks Curiosity: Is ₹50,000 Her “Actual” Take-Home Despite MP Perks?
Bollywood firebrand Kangana Ranaut has once again stirred conversation, this time about her finances. The actress, also a Member of Parliament, recently claimed her “actual” salary amounts to a modest ₹50,000. This statement comes as a surprise, given the official salary of an Indian MP is substantially higher, around ₹1.24 lakh.
Decoding Kangana’s Earning Claims
While the specifics behind Ranaut’s statement remain unclear, it’s possible she’s referring to her net income after various deductions and expenses related to her political duties. Being an MP involves significant costs, including travel, office maintenance, and staff salaries.
Politics: An “Expensive Hobby”?
Ranaut has previously referred to politics as an “expensive hobby,” hinting at the financial commitments that come with the role. Her recent claim of a ₹50,000 “actual” salary adds another layer to the discussion about the financial realities of public service in India. It raises questions about the transparency of MP expenses and the personal financial burdens elected officials may face.
