Success didn’t come easy to Kangana Ranaut.
After her Bollywood debut with Anurag Basu’s Gangster in 2006, the
29-year-old actress had to toil even harder to get a breakthrough with Madhur
Bhandarkar’s critically-acclaimed movie Fashion in 2008.
And while Fashion got her the much-awaited
recognition and a National Award, Kangana continued to face career fluctuations
in spite of her wonderful performance in Anand L. Rai’s Tanu Weds Manu.
Kangana finally received her due as an artist after her
blockbuster movie Queen in 2014, which as the actress reveals came
when she was planning to quit acting.
Kangana tells, “It is ironic that just when I had decided to
quit (acting), this happened.”
“Direction was my plan B. The idea was to gain
complete creative control. As an actor, you are supposed to promote a film with
conviction, yet one has to sometimes beg to even see the poster before it’s
out. Actors are often seen to be interfering in the (film-making) process, “she
further added.
Speaking about her dreamy success story the actress said a famous
daily that she is the only one in Bollywood who has come from the grassroots.
Kangana told, “The places I go to seem like a culmination of
five to six lifetimes. I am the only rags-to-riches story. No one comes from
the grassroots (in Bollywood).”
Talking about her struggles in early age Kangana recalls,
“There were times when I had no food to eat. And I was a minor. I’ve been
through situations no sane person should."
