Bollywood actress and BJP Member of Parliament from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi, Kangana Ranaut, made a notable appearance in Haryana's Charkhi Dadri district on Tuesday, drawing crowds of curious onlookers during what was primarily a personal visit.

The MP, accompanied by her sister Rangoli and other family members, visited Kheri Battar village in Charkhi Dadri, where her brother's in-laws reside. Sources confirmed to The Haryana Story that her brother is married to Ritu, a resident of this village.

During her visit, Ranaut engaged in several public activities, including shopping in the local market, where her presence created quite a stir among local residents. "Wherever she went, crowds gathered to catch a glimpse of the celebrity-turned-politician," a local shopkeeper told The Haryana Story.

The MP also visited the Bala Wala Temple, where she offered prayers and interacted with local women. The visit marked a significant public appearance for Ranaut, who has recently been in the news for different reasons.

This public appearance comes on the heels of a recent controversy where Ranaut had advocated for the reinstatement of the three farm laws through a video posted on social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The statement had sparked significant backlash, leading to her issuing an apology after the BJP distanced itself from her comments.

"The timing of this visit is interesting as it shows Ranaut engaging with the very community that was at the center of the farm laws protest," noted a political observer speaking to The Haryana Story. "However, this was clearly a personal visit focused on family commitments rather than political engagement." 

The visit highlighted the continuing public interest in Ranaut, who has successfully transitioned from being a celebrated actress to a political figure, though sometimes surrounded by controversy due to her outspoken nature on various issues.
