A claim made by actress Kangana Ranaut, who stated that she received a BJP ticket for the Himachal Pradesh elections due to the Women's Reservation Bill.

BOOM found this claim to be false, as the Women's Reservation Bill has not been implemented yet. The statement was misleading and did not accurately reflect the current status of the legislation.
