Some Lesser Known Facts About Navneet Kaur Rana

Navneet Kaur Rana, a former Indian actress, social activist, and politician, gained recognition for her contributions to the Telugu film industry. In 2019, she successfully campaigned and won the position of Member of Parliament representing the Amravati constituency. In 2022, she made news headlines due to her involvement in the Hanuman Chalisa controversy.

Navneet embarked on her career as a model after leaving school in twelfth grade, featuring in six music videos. While her father disapproved, her mother and brother were her pillars of support throughout her journey.

Navneet Kaur Rana has been a part of the Telugu, Punjabi, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, and Hindi film industries throughout her career.

In 2003, she rose to fame after portraying the character of Lakshmi in the Telugu movie ‘Seenu Vasanthi Lakshmi.’ The plot revolves around Seenu, a visually impaired man, his sister Vasanthi, and Lakshmi, a mute woman. Unfortunately, as the narrative progresses, Vasanthi and Lakshmi become victims of sexual assault by a influential political personality.

In subsequent years, Navneet Rana made her presence felt in a range of Telugu films, including Jagapathi (2005), Roommates (2006), Jabilamma (2008), and Flash News (2009). Notably, she took on a starring role in the film Jabilamma in 2008.

She portrayed the character of Diana Perreira in the Indian Malayalam comedy-drama film ‘Love in Singapore’ released in 2009. The movie revolves around Machu, a wealthy scrap dealer, who puts all his money into the deceitful investment firm owned by Andrews Perreira. In the story, Diana Perreira, Andrews’ daughter, runs away with Machu to Singapore on the day of her wedding.

In addition to Lad Gaya Pecha (2010), she also made an appearance in the Punjabi film known as Chhevan Dariya (The Sixth River).

In addition to her film career, she participated as a contestant in the dance reality show ‘Humma Humma,’ which was aired on Gemini TV.
Navneet and Ravi’s initial encounter took place at an ashram guided by Baba Ramdev, during one of Ravi Rana’s Yog Shivirs that he was organizing.

Navneet and Ravi tied the knot in 2011 at a mass marriage event held in Science Core Ground, Amravati. They were among 3612 couples who participated in the ceremony. Esteemed Indian figures such as Baba Ramdev, Maulana Mahmood Madani, Vivek Oberoi, and Prithviraj Chavan graced the occasion with their presence.

Ravi Rana and Baba Ramdev conceived the idea of the marriage ceremony, which earned them recognition from the India Book of Records for organizing the largest mass marriage ceremony in history. The ceremony incurred a budget of seven crores.

The founders of the Yuva Swabhiman Party (YSP) are Navneet and Ravi. At first, YSP operated as a social organization called ‘Yuva Swabhiman,’ dedicated to uplifting the impoverished segment of society. Eventually, it transformed into a political party.

During an event at Madhuban Vrudhashram, an old-age home, in 2019, Navneet’s husband, Ravi Rana, got involved in a physical altercation with Dinesh Boob, who serves as the Amravati district chief for Shiv Sena. Ravi claimed that Dinesh had made offensive comments about Navneet on social media and during his campaign speeches leading up to the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Eventually, the police intervened and compelled Dinesh Boob and his followers to vacate the ashram.

Navneet and Ravi, who hold independent political status, frequently take advantage of their position. Prior to the 2019 general elections, the Ranas aligned themselves with the Congress-NCP alliance and Navneet Rana successfully secured a seat as an MP from the Amravati Lok Sabha constituency with the support of the NCP. However, following the 2019 Legislative Assembly elections in Maharashtra, where Ravi Rana was elected as an MLA from the Badnera Assembly Constituency, the couple changed their allegiance and supported the BJP, with Ravi offering his unconditional support to help form the government. Nevertheless, when the NCP, Shiv Sena, and Congress emerged victorious over the BJP, the Ranas once again adopted a neutral stance.

In the 2019 general elections, Navneet Rana, an independent candidate, allocated a budget of Rs.65 Lakh for her campaign. To enhance her political rallies, Navneet enlisted the support of Bollywood icons such as Govinda and Suniel Shetty, alongside NCP supremo Sharad Pawar.
