PTC Web Desk: Union Minister Chirag Paswan and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, who previously worked together on a film, shared a light-hearted moment in Parliament on Wednesday. A video of the two young leaders greeting each other with a 'low five' this morning has surfaced.
In 2011, the two starred in the film Miley Naa Miley Hum. The film did not perform well, and Chirag Paswan, still shadowed by his father, the veteran late Ram Vilas Paswan, turned to politics. Kangana went on to have a successful film career.
Paswan currently leads the LJP (Ram Vilas), a key BJP ally that pulled off a stunner in the recent elections by winning all five seats it contested. He is now a cabinet minister in charge of the food processing industries portfolio, previously held by his father. He is a two-time MP from Jamui, Bihar, and now represents the state's Hajipur seat.
Ranaut, on the other hand, is a first-time MP who was elected from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. The actor-politician defeated state minister and heavyweight candidate Vikramaditya Singh by nearly 75,000 votes in this election.
