Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut has firmly dismissed ongoing speculation about a romantic relationship with fellow MP Chirag Paswan, clarifying that the two share nothing more than a long-standing friendship.

The rumours had been circulating for some time, fuelled by their public appearances together and their shared past in the film industry.

However, Kangana has now addressed the speculation directly, putting the chatter to rest with a candid and unambiguous response.

In an interview with ANI, Ranaut spoke candidly about her equation with Chirag Paswan and dismissed any talk of romance.

"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 know each other for like... He did his film with me 10 years ago. Agar romance hota toh aaj humare bacche hote," she said.

She further explained that their bond has remained unchanged over the years. Watch the viral clipping below:

"If I wanted to have romance, then it would have happened. It's not happening. You know, like, it's just that... that friendly vibe, you know, which you get from somebody who, who's just kind of your, you know, your type as in like he, he's from also in a way from film industry. So I feel very good around him," Kangana said.

The duo had previously worked together in the 2011 film ‘Mile Na Mile Hum’, which marked Paswan’s brief stint in Bollywood before he transitioned fully into politics.

Their association from that time has continued as a friendly rapport, which Ranaut emphasised remains unchanged even today.

The speculation around their relationship gained traction in recent months as both figures, now active in politics, were seen attending events and interacting publicly.

While Paswan has largely stayed silent on the matter, Ranaut’s latest remarks offer a clear and definitive response.

Known for her outspoken personality, Ranaut has often addressed rumours head-on, and this instance was no exception.

By combining humour with clarity, she has effectively put an end to speculation, reiterating that her bond with Paswan is strictly platonic.

With this, Ranaut once again reinforces her no-nonsense stance when it comes to her personal life, choosing transparency over silence in the face of persistent rumours.
