Kangana Ranaut says she has suffered a lot because she started working as a minor: ‘I should have been in school studying’

When Kangana Ranaut was 16 years old, she left her home and relocated to Delhi. There she found her love for acting and decided to shift to Mumbai to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. At 17 she shot for her first film, Anurag Basu and Mahesh Bhatt’s Gangster. Her journey in Bollywood was not easy and she faced many hurdles along the way. Well, today she is one of the top actresses of the Hindi film industry who has won our hearts and left us in awe with many of her performances. Looking back at her difficult yet fruitful journey, Kangana took to her social media handle to share a fan-made video today.

Along with the clip, which features her transformation and journey, The Queen star wrote: “My sister sent this to me a fan made video, made me smile. This is what growing up in the film industry looks like, I was a minor when I started working, I suffered a lot because I should have been in school studying and playing not struggling to make career that too without parents or proper understanding and guidance of film industry but it also gave me lot of time if today I feel after starting from a scratch at 16 and struggling for more than a decade to achieve success I can still start from a scratch at 34 and build my own studio and be a successful filmmaker because I have time …”

She went on to add, “I truly believe in what Krishna said in Geeta, every thing that appears bad has some good in it and everything that appears good at the surface definitely carries the seed of some bad in its womb… whether or not we see it that’s our problem but that does not change the nature of reality. BTW thanks for the video.”

Kangana currently has four exciting projects in the pipeline-- J. Jayalalithaa’s biopic Thalaivi, Dhaakad co-starring Arjun Rampal and Divya Dutta, Sarvesh Mewara’s Tejas and Indira Gandhi’s biopic Emergency.
