Mandi/IBNS: Bollywood top actress Kangana Ranaut on Friday kick-started her Lok Sabha poll campaign, days after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) picked her as a candidate from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi.
Kangana- dressed in a white kurta- addressed a massive gathering where she pitched herself as the "sister and daughter" of people from her home state.
"Don't think Kangana is a star or a heroine, consider me as your sister and daughter. All are my relatives," said the 'Queen' star in her first words as a politician.
Her words triggered "Jai Shri Ram" chants from the BJP supporters.
