Kangana Ranaut has spent the last few months at her home in Manali, thanks to the COVID-19 lockdown. The Manikarnika star has enjoyed quality time with her family, celebrating festivals like the recent Raksha Bandhan, enjoying trips with her family, relishing home-grown vegetables and nature, apart from moments with nephew Prithvi Raj. However, there were some unpleasant experiences too, with gunshots being heard outside their home some days ago, and that seems to have got her mother worried for her safety.
