Bollywood actor and newly elected Member of Parliament Kangana Ranaut has been chosen as the official brand ambassador for the 2025 World Para Athletics Championships, set to take place in New Delhi from September 27 to October 5. The announcement was made by the Paralympic Committee of India, and Ranaut herself shared the news on her social media, calling it a “true honour” to support India’s para-athletes and their relentless grit.
This will be the 12th edition of the prestigious event and the biggest para sport gathering India has ever hosted. With 186 medal events on the schedule—101 for men, 84 for women, and one mixed event—the New Delhi championship will feature more competitions than the previous edition in Kobe, Japan.

Ranaut, known for her fiery screen presence in films like Queen and Tanu Weds Manu, stepped into the political spotlight in 2024 as a BJP MP from Himachal Pradesh. Her appointment adds a celebrity spark to the event, but also reflects a broader push to give para-athletes the recognition they deserve.
Asia will be hosting the Championships for the fourth time, following previous editions in Doha (2015), Dubai (2019), and Kobe (2024). The event is overseen by World Para Athletics, which operates under the International Paralympic Committee.
