Kangana Ranaut has had exceptional kind of career in Bollywood where she is known for her passionate performances. It so seems that her life has been an intense emotional ride too. From leaving home at 15, to struggling her way up in Bollywood, Kangna's life seems to be in no lack of bollywood kind of masala.
In an interview to a newspaper when asked about her life in the film industry she reveals, "There was a constant struggle to be accepted by the film industry. Even after Gangster being a success, I was considered a B-grade actress and was a sidekick even though I was good at what I did and was jobless for two years. People who come from filmi families feel people like me don't deserve to be here. Star kids are considered blue blood babas and babies even though they are older to me, whereas a Jenny from the hill, as I am referred to, is always someone to be made fun of. They can't understand that everybody who comes from a humble background need not be a gold-digger who is hungry for money. People have humiliated me and scared me. I was humiliated at a music launch of a film where the two big stars had me removed from the posters. Just that the film had already been shot otherwise they would have wanted me to be dropped out of the film too. They wasted time and money to destroy my career. I am a soft target and don't have a big daddy. I am deeply sensitive and that is what makes me a good artiste. I have never sucked up to anybody. Tanu Weds Manu changed my life after which I have never looked back."
