‘Why can’t we live well?’: Kangana backs Maithili over Rolls-Royce ride to Lalbaugcha Raja

Soon after, Maithili’s luxury car became a talking point on social media, with some users questioning the use of such an expensive vehicle by a politician.

Kangana Ranaut says politicians can ‘live well’ too

Reacting to the criticism, Kangana Ranaut argued that politicians can have their own careers, lives and popularity while also working for the public.

Kangana’s note posted on her Instagram Stories read: “Some people a**** start to burn whenever they see politicians living a good life, now our young MLA getting trolled for using a luxury car, we may be inclined to social service but we also have our own careers, life and popularity, we selflessly work for public welfare but some people get so hurt if they see us living well, why not? Why can’t we also live well? We are not even interested in public money but to expect us to remain poor and lifeless is so irrational (sic).”

What Maithili Thakur’s election affidavit says

The discussion around Maithili Thakur’s finances also drew attention to the assets she declared in her election affidavit. According to her affidavit for the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, Maithili declared total assets worth Rs 3.82 crore and no liabilities.

Her declared movable assets included a Honda Activa, gold jewellery, bank deposits and investments, but no Rolls-Royce. Her arrival at Lalbaugcha Raja in a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, therefore, prompted questions online about the ownership of the luxury SUV.
