Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) Chirag Paswan and Bharatiya Janta Party's Kangana Ranaut enjoyed a pleasant reunion last week at the NDA meeting in New Delhi.
They are not just new Members of Parliament but also former co-stars.
Paswan and Ranaut worked together in the 2011 film Mile Na Mile Hum. This marked Paswan's sole foray into the film industry. He played a tennis star, and Kangana portrayed the woman for whom he developed feelings.
This romantic comedy was directed by Tanveer Khan and served as Paswan's debut in Bollywood. The plot revolves around a wealthy young man named Chirag Mehra, who defies his parents to marry his partner Anishka, a somewhat clumsy yet carefree model.
Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the movie proved to be a commercial failure at the box office.
Earlier, Chirag said he was eager to meet Kangana again. “I am looking forward to meet her. We shared a good relationship and worked in a film. We will be meeting in Parliament. I think she is a strong lady; she voices herself very articulately and I am looking forward to listening to her in Parliament,” PTI quoted Paswan as saying.
Kangana Ranaut has become only the fourth woman ever elected to the Lok Sabha from Himachal Pradesh and the first woman not from an erstwhile royal family.
BJP's Kangana defeated her Congress rival Vikramaditya Singh, the scion of Rampur state and the incumbent state public works minister, by 74,755 votes in the Mandi Lok Sabha constituency.
