Taking to her Instagram Stories, Kangana posted a video from one of her campaigns. Along with it, she wrote, “After 6 Jan sabhas (public gathering) and multiple meet and greet with party workers, after 450km in a single day in rural mountains with worse roads and still travelling in the night, after no proper meal or snack timings I am wondering in my car, that filmi struggle about making movies is like a joke in front of this hustle uffff.”
