He claimed that she had received a bill of Rs 55,000 for the month of March. However, she was sent a bill of just a little over Rs 91,000 as she had yet to clear her dues from the month of January and February.
A post shared by Kangana Ranaut (@kanganaranaut) Quoted by the media publication, the official said, “Her bills for January and February amount to around Rs 32,000. When all of it is added, along with the penalty for late payment, the total figure amounts to Rs 91,000 approximately, and not Rs 1 lakh, Had she paid the bills for January and February on time, she would have received only Rs 55,000 bill for this month.” SEE ALSO: Kangana Ranaut Receives Silk Saree, Letter As Gift From Fan For Emergency; Calls It 'Better Than Useless Trophies' Further in his interview, Kumar added that in the month of March, Kangana has consumed 9000 units of electricity.
Dismissing her claims of not staying much at the Manali house, he added that the meter will only “crunch numbers” when power is consumed. “I would also like to bring it to your notice that she also received the Rs 700 subsidy in her bill in March as per the government regulations,” he concluded. Kangana Ranaut is yet to comment on the official’s statement.
A post shared by Kangana Ranaut (@kanganaranaut) On the work front, she was last seen in her directorial debut Emergency. She essayed the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Based on the 21-month emergency period faced by India from 1975-1977, the film faced a lot of backlash from certain quarters for misrepresentation of their religion even before the film had been released.
She will be next seen in a Tamil psychological thriller alongside R Madhavan. The project is directed by AL Vijay. She also has Bharat Bhagya Vidhata in her pipeline.
