Kangana sweats it out against royal scion

Kangana sweats it out against royal scion

It's like an open air theater where an ebullient but inexperience candidate is sweating it out against a seasoned neta.

Kangana's glam quotient is high but so is her tendency for loose talk by straying off the script, making headlines for all the wrong reasons. The party is learning to manage the impulsive actor and trying keep her away from harm's way.

Her opponent is a pedigreed minister in the Sukhvinder Singh 'Sukhu' government, as he is a scion of the erstwhile Rampur royal family.
