Singer and Bihar MLA Maithili Thakur has become a topic of discussion on social media after she was seen arriving at Mumbai’s Lalbaugcha Raja pandal in a blue Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The luxury SUV quickly became the centre of an online debate, with some users questioning how the vehicle was connected to the young politician.
As the criticism grew, actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut came out in support of Maithili. She questioned why politicians should be expected to live without comfort simply because they are involved in public service.
Maithili Thakur Arrives at Lalbaugcha Raja
Maithili Thakur visited the famous Lalbaugcha Raja pandal in Mumbai during Ganeshotsav. Videos showed her travelling in the rear of a blue, chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce Cullinan before entering the venue and offering prayers.
The footage soon circulated widely on social media. The vehicle's appearance attracted particular attention because of the Rolls-Royce Cullinan's high market value. Reports have put its Mumbai on-road price at more than ₹13 crore, depending on the variant and specifications.
Why Was Maithili Thakur Trolled?
After the video went viral, several social media users questioned the circumstances surrounding the luxury car. Some posts compared the Rolls-Royce with assets reportedly declared in Maithili's election affidavit.
However, an important point remains unclear: there has been no independent confirmation that Maithili Thakur owns the Rolls-Royce Cullinan seen in the videos. Reports have noted that the vehicle could have been rented, borrowed or arranged for the occasion, but its ownership has not been established in the reports reviewed.
Therefore, online claims that Maithili personally purchased the luxury SUV should not be treated as confirmed information.
Kangana Ranaut Defends Maithili Thakur
Amid the social media discussion, Kangana Ranaut shared a post on Instagram defending Maithili. The actor-politician questioned why people react negatively when politicians are seen living comfortably.
Kangana argued that politicians can have their own careers, personal lives and sources of income while also working in public service. She also questioned the expectation that politicians should remain poor simply because they have entered public life.
Her comments brought the controversy back into the spotlight and generated further discussion online.
Maithili Thakur’s Journey From Singer to MLA
Maithili Thakur first became widely recognised for her singing and performances of Indian classical and folk music. She gained broader public attention after appearing on the reality singing show Rising Star India in 2017.
Over the years, she built a strong audience through music and social media, particularly through performances of Maithili, Bhojpuri and other traditional songs.
She later entered politics and became a legislator from Bihar. Her transition from a young folk singer to an elected representative has made her one of the more recognisable new faces in Bihar politics.
What Is Known About the Rolls-Royce?
The vehicle seen with Maithili was identified in reports as a blue Rolls-Royce Cullinan. It was chauffeur-driven and seen making its way through the crowded area outside the Lalbaugcha Raja pandal.
While some social media posts claimed that Maithili had purchased the vehicle after entering politics, those claims remain unverified. The available reports do not establish that the Rolls-Royce belongs to her.
This distinction is important because the online debate has largely been based on assumptions about ownership rather than confirmed documentation.
Social Media Debate Continues
The controversy has generated different reactions online. Some users questioned the contrast between Maithili's publicly discussed declared assets and her appearance in a luxury vehicle, while others argued that travelling in an expensive car does not by itself establish wrongdoing.
Kangana's intervention added another perspective to the discussion by focusing on whether public figures should be expected to give up a comfortable lifestyle after entering politics.
The debate has therefore expanded beyond the vehicle itself to questions about celebrity, public life and expectations from elected representatives.
Maithili Thakur Has Not Been Accused of Any Confirmed Wrongdoing
At present, the reports reviewed establish that Maithili travelled to Lalbaugcha Raja in a Rolls-Royce Cullinan and that the vehicle's appearance generated social media criticism. They do not establish that she owns the vehicle or that its use involved any wrongdoing.
The controversy largely stems from online questions about the vehicle and comparisons with information reportedly contained in her election affidavit.
Without confirmation about ownership or the circumstances in which the car was arranged, those claims remain questions raised on social media rather than established facts.
Kangana’s Statement Adds Another Chapter
Kangana Ranaut's support has given the controversy additional attention. Her statement focused on the broader question of whether politicians can maintain successful careers and enjoy a comfortable lifestyle while serving the public.
For Maithili Thakur, the incident has brought renewed attention to both her political career and her background as a singer.
Meanwhile, the Rolls-Royce's ownership remains the key unanswered question behind much of the online discussion. Until that detail is independently established, claims about Maithili personally owning or purchasing the luxury car remain unconfirmed.
