Almost a year after being elected as an MP from the Mandi constituency in Himachal Pradesh, Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has finally moved into the official residence allotted to her by the government in Delhi. This comes seven months after she sold her bungalow in Bandra, Mumbai. On Wednesday, Kangana offered glimpses of her official residence and the housewarming ceremony on social media.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Kangana shared photos and videos from the ceremony while noting, “Finally got some time to shift to the Delhi MP house. It was not easy to restore a century-old MP house. Thanks dear @design_by_darshini for doing this.” In one of the photos, she can be seen posing with Darshini, the interior architect and designer who gave the space a facelift.
Another picture features the actor-MP with her sister-in-law Ritu Ranaut, relishing some sweets together. Ritu is the wife of her brother Aksht Ranaut. As the moment marked a major milestone in her life, Kangana chose to go with something very rooted and was seen sporting a red and white Kanjeevaram saree, smiling from ear to ear. Incidentally, she moved into the bungalow on the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya.
In September 2024, Zapkey India reported that Kangana had sold off her Bandra bungalow for a whopping Rs 32 crore. Located at Bandra West’s posh Pali Hill area, the Bollywood actor purchased the property in September 2017 for Rs 20.7 crore. She also took a loan of Rs 27 crore against the property, which served as the office for her production company, Manikarnika Films, as well, in December 2022.
Kangana Ranaut’s movie career, however, has been going through a rough patch since 2019, with all her movies that released after Judgementall Hai Kya bombing. Her most recent release, the historical biographical drama Emergency, which marked her debut as a solo director as well, had also failed at the box office miserably, grossing just Rs 23.75 crore against a reported budget of about Rs 60 crore. She will be next seen in Thalaivii director Vijay’s upcoming project, wherein she shares the screen with her Tanu Weds Manu co-star R Madhavan.
