Mann's political journey has been remarkable. Born in 1973 in Satoj village, Sangrur, he graduated in Commerce from Shaheed Udham Singh Government College in 1992.


His popularity soared at age 18 with the release of an audio cassette, followed by his success on television through shows like 'Jugnu Kehnda Hai' and 'Jugnu Mast Mast'.


After a stint with the People’s Party of Punjab, he joined AAP and was elected to the 16th Lok Sabha in May 2014 from the Sangrur Lok Sabha constituency. He defeated Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa of the Shiromani Akali Dal.


His second term was from 2019 to date. He was re-elected in May 2019 to the 17th Lok Sabha from the Sangrur Lok Sabha Constituency. He won his second term in Parliament. He won against Kewal Singh Dhillon (INC) and Parminder Singh Dhindsa (Shiromani Akali Dal).


In January 2022, he was chosen as the candidate for Chief Minister from the Aam Aadmi Party for the 2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly election.


CM Mann has faced challenges, including scrutiny from Opposition parties, but remains a significant figure in Punjab's political landscape. Today, as he celebrates his birthday, his journey from comedian to Chief Minister highlights his unique path in Indian politics.
