'My film work is suffering': Kangana Ranaut
"Being a parliamentarian is a very demanding job. Especially in my constituency, we’ve had floods, so I am all over the place," she said, adding that she has been tied up with surveying the flood-hit regions of Himachal Pradesh.
She then stated how her films have taken a backseat due to her political career. "My film work is suffering. My projects are waiting. I’m not able to start my shoots. I’m waiting for more parliamentary sessions detail, like winter session, so I can adjust my dates," she said.
She added that she is equally committed to acting as her political career and that she wants to focus on what requires her attention on priority.
"Right now, it’s just way too much happening in my life," she stated.
