Kangana Ranaut’s Electricity Bill Not ₹1 Lakh, It Includes Arrears And High Consumption Himachal Power Board Refuses Claim, Accuses Her Of Delayed Payments
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut recently claimed on social media that she received an electricity bill of ₹1 lakh for her bungalow in Manali, calling it “unbelievable” and suggesting foul play. However, the Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Limited (HPSEBL) has now issued a clarification, denying any overbilling.
An HPSEBL official said, “The bill amount is not for one month, as being portrayed. The total includes unpaid dues for the past three months. There is no error in the billing.”
Ranaut had posted a screenshot of the bill on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “What is this new drama? One lakh electricity bill for a house that’s mostly shut? Ye satya nahi hai (this is not the truth).” Her post quickly gained traction, raising questions about the billing process.
Responding to her post, the electricity board clarified that the bill corresponds to actual consumption and the pending amount. “The actress has not cleared her dues for three months. This amount is as per her usage and applicable tariff,” said another official from the department.
Interestingly, the board also revealed that Kangana or her team have not filed any formal complaint with the department. “No one from her side has approached us regarding any discrepancy. Posting on social media without verification only creates confusion,” the spokesperson added.
