She's shooting her very first comedy — No Problem with Akshaye Khanna — and will take up another, Tannu Weds Mannu with R Madhavan, immediately after that. This image change couldn't have come at a better time.

Yes, I am seeing a lot of changes recently, more positive than negative thankfully," she said of her personal and professional life. Excited about doing comedy, Kangna said, "It's taken so long for me to do what most conventional actresses start out doing — romance or romantic comedies. But better late than never. I was tired of being depressed, now it's time to have some fun," she said.

Admitting she's not too funny a person in real life, despite having a humorous side, the sexy star said, "I am glad I did the intense kind of roles early on in my career. But now I am happy with the kind of films coming my way." And that includes Once Upon A Time In Mumbai and the Hrithik Roshan-Barbara Mori-starrer Kites, amongst others. Does she feel left out considering the film is being promoted solely with these two stars? "I have done my job, the rest is the filmmakers' call, they can market it in whatever way they want to," she replied, adding, "at the end of the day, it's only good performances that'll stand out."

Her break-up has not really left Kangna heart-broken and hurt, or the actress is not showing any signs of it. "It'll take a lot more than these ups and downs in life to break me," she said. "And it's really not as if I am working to get over anything. Work's keeping me busy for work's sake, but yes, it's keeping me distracted from pondering too much about the past. I know that love hurts sometimes, but I can never stop being in love."
