Kangana Ranaut appointed ambassador for World Para Athletics Championships
Kangana Ranaut, Bollywood star and MP, has been picked as the brand ambassador for the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships in New Delhi.
The event, scheduled for September 26 to October 5 next year, will bring together athletes from over 100 countries.
The Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) made the announcement.
PCI aims to promote para athletics in India
The PCI is hoping Kangana's popularity will shine a bigger spotlight on para athletics in India.
By having her as ambassador, they want to draw more attention and support for para sports—something that hasn't always been in the limelight.
Kangana brings star power and political influence
Famous for films like Fashion and Queen, Kangana has expressed support for Indian para athletes.
Now an MP from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi constituency, she brings both star power and political influence to help boost visibility and support for para sports.
