Kangana Ranaut has come to the defense of young singer-turned-politician Maithili Thakur following online criticism over her arrival at Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja pandal in a luxury Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Kangana challenged the notion that politicians should be expected to live frugally, despite having earned their own success and independent careers.
Maithili, a folk singer originally from Bihar, transitioned into politics as a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, all while maintaining her ongoing career in music.
