| Shooting in South Africa should be loads of fun, but Woh Lamhe actress Kangana Ranaut is eager to return home to be with her sister, who received serious burn injuries after two men threw acid on her. "The country is so breathtakingly beautiful, filled with natural beauty but my heart is just not in it," Kangana said. She is shooting for Suneel Darshan's Shakalaka Boom Boom with Upen Patel. "We're doing a song, and it's like a party. We shot it in a goldmine. Upen is great fun. And, my God, he talks so much. Before he completes one topic he runs on to the next. But I want to return home. My sister Rangoli is in the hospital. Of course, my parents are there to look after her. But without me they're a little lost in Mumbai," the young actress tells us. There's an added pressure on Kangana to return home. "My sister is supposed to undergo skin grafting for her burns in a couple of days. I really need to be near her. I don't want to delay the operation. Rangoli wants to look as pretty as she used to, for her wedding which is on February 8," she admits. Kangana feels that the acid-throwing accident could have been worse for her sister. "Her face could've been irreparably damaged. Her fianc could've called off the marriage. None of this happened," she points out. Kangana, a thorough professional, will not leave the shoot in Africa, if it creates problems for Darshan. "If Darshan asks me to stay back, I will. But I'd really not like to miss my sister's surgery. And there's no way I'd allow her to be operated until I'm present," she said. Now that the matter has been sorted out. Kangana returns home for the operation in the first week of November. "My sister is expected to recover completely. After the acid throwing, anything could've happened. Maybe some people don't like the fact that a small town girl like me is being noticed. I want to make it clear that I'm not here to be a threat to anyone. But I won't take insults or injustice lying down. God has been kind. My sister has got back her life. That's more important to me than any success," says the brave young lady |
