Actor-turned-politician Kangana Ranaut has firmly dismissed ongoing speculation about her relationship with fellow politician Chirag Paswan.
Rumours had been circulating on social media, especially after the two were seen together at public events, sparking curiosity among fans. However, Kangana has now addressed the speculation directly, putting an end to the chatter.
Speaking to ANI, Kangana clarified her equation with Chirag Paswan and ruled out any romantic angle.
"No, no, Chirag is a friend. When I see him, I think of a friend. There's no romance happening, let me be honest. We have known each other for around 10 years. If there had been romance, we would have had children by now," she said.
She further explained that their bond has remained strictly friendly over the years.
"If I wanted to have romance, it would have happened. It's not happening. It's just a friendly vibe you get from someone who is from the film industry. I feel comfortable around him," Kangana added.
Kangana and Chirag Paswan first worked together in the 2011 romantic drama Miley Naa Miley Hum, directed by Tanveer Khan. The film marked Chirag's acting debut, with Kangana playing the female lead, alongside Neeru Bajwa and Sagarika Ghatge.
While both have since transitioned into politics and built distinct public identities, their occasional public appearances continue to attract attention due to their shared cinematic past.
On the professional front, Kangana was last seen in Emergency, which she also directed, where she portrayed former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
