    Actress Kangana Ranaut, who has been notably absent from social media ever since she made her Bollywood debut, took to Twitter on Friday to announce her arrival on the micro-blogging site.
    "This is for my twitter family," wrote Kangana's team on Twitter as they shared a video in which she talked about her social media debut.


    In the one-minute forty-three second video posted on her Twitter account, Ranaut dwelved deep into the reasons behind her joining the social media platforms, despite being absent from them for a considerable number of years.

    In the video, Kangana said, "Hello friends, I have been working in films from almost last 15 years, and during all this time... I was pressurised many times to join social media and I have declined a lot many deals wherein the only clause was to join social media, and I had let them go. People have been saying things about me because I wasn't there on social media... even then I didn't join it..."

    Talking about her reasons to not join social media, Ranaut said that she never felt a distance from her audience and that she had sent the messages of 'women empowerment' and 'nationalism' in an artistic way through her films.

    "This year, I have seen the power of social media, and I observed that how the whole world has come together in the fight for Sushant, and we have gained success... All this has given me a lot of hope, and I have an aspiration that through this we can launch reforms for new India... and that is the reason for the first time I have come on Twitter...," she added.

    Looking ahead to the social media journey, the 'Panga' actress asked her fans for support as it'd be a "beginning of a new relationship".
