The photo Kangana shared is from 2018, when she had met PM Modi along with lyricist Prasoon Joshi, at an event in Delhi. The actor was seen in a floral saree and had said at the event, “I am a big Modi fan because of his success story. As a young woman, I do believe that we need to have right role models. I mean the graph and the ambition of an ordinary man and whenever we have a PM who is a chaiwala (tea-seller), then I always say that it is not his victory but it is the victory of our democracy. I feel he is the right role model.”In her upcoming film Emergency, Kangana will essay the role of the late Indira Gandhi, Anupam Kher will be seen as J P Narayan, Mahima Chaudhry will play Pupul Jayakar, Shreyas Talpade as Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Milind Soman will play Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw.
