Kangana debuted 20 years back

Why do you think it turned to dust? She is still alive and only around 36 years old....She is probably just one movie and one good role away from making it big...Because that's what good actors are capable of...

ego and pride got to her head. her co-actors and directors hate her. there are very few who are willing to work with her. she is the cause of her own downfall.

personally I don't like her or enjoy her movies, no matter how many NA she wins. Tabu over her anyday.

Kangana’s journey is actually one of the strongest female filmographies in modern Hindi cinema.

Receipts:

• Natural performer from day one

Gangster (2006) didn’t rely on glamour — she sold vulnerability and emotional damage at 19. That’s rare. Most debutants take years to reach that control.

• Range, not repetition

From Fashion (broken, self-destructive supermodel) to Queen (awkward, timid Rani) to Tanu Weds Manu Returns (Datto’s raw, earthy swagger) — these are three completely different physicalities and rhythms. Not many actresses can disappear like that.

• Comic timing is elite

Datto is not an easy role. Accent, pauses, body language — it could’ve been caricature. Instead, she made it iconic. Comedy is harder than tragedy, and she nailed it.

• Carries films solo

Queen worked because of her presence alone. No male crutch, no star power. Very few actresses have pulled that off in Bollywood and turned it into a cultural moment.

• Fearless choices

She consistently picked author-backed roles when commercial cinema offered safer options. Even when films failed, the performances rarely did (Simran, Judgementall Hai Kya).

• Industry recognition (earned)

4 National Awards aren’t goodwill prizes. They came across genres — fashion drama, psychological, social comedy — showing sustained merit.

• Longevity of impact

Even her weaker films are remembered for her, not despite her. That’s the mark of a performer, not just a star.

Verdict:

As an actress, Kangana isn’t “overrated” or “wasted.” She’s technically strong, emotionally fearless, and cinema-first in performance. Her acting legacy stands independent of everything else.

36 years since 2016

W Kangana it’s a always case of

Jo Duaayein Dete The Haan Ussi Ke Hothon Se

Aise Waise Lafz Bhi Humse Bole Hain Gaye

As she is her worst enemy, I don't think that she will get back the way she had success before the Hrithik controversy and usurping the working credit of others.
