Actress Kangana Ranaut denies secret marriage rumors

MUMBAI: Indian actress and politician Kangana Ranaut has denied rumors of a secret marriage after photos of her wearing traditional bridal symbols sparked speculation on social media.

The rumors began after Kangana was seen wearing green bangles and a mangalsutra, a necklace traditionally associated with married Hindu women.

Responding to the speculation on Instagram, the actress said she would never marry in secret and clarified that the look was part of a film character.

“I promise, I will not have a secret wedding,” Kangana wrote while sharing a video on her Instagram story in which she appeared in traditional attire.

She said someone had photographed her while she was in character makeup during a shoot, which led to numerous calls and online rumors.

Kangana also questioned why her married-woman look caused such a strong reaction, adding that actors regularly portray different characters on screen.

In another post, the actress spoke about working outdoors during a heatwave, saying actors filming under lights and in enclosed spaces also face difficult conditions.

According to Indian media reports, Kangana Ranaut is currently filming Queen 2, and the viral appearance was reportedly linked to her role in the movie.

Reports added that she had gone to a dentist appointment immediately after shooting and did not have time to change outfits before being photographed by paparazzi.
