winning actor
Kangana Ranaut
says she worked
towards her
"mental health to
overcome the
hurdles that she
faced while
working in
Bollywood.
"Not belonging to
a lineage makes
the path to
success in my
industry
automatically
harder. I belong
to a humble
family that has no
connection to Bollywood. My passion and
dreams brought me to a junction, but the
tracks ahead had to be laid by me and each
step was unfathomably difficult, Kangana,
said in a statement.
The actor, who has joined hands with
Reebok India for #FitToFight campaign to
address inequality in pay, added, "I worked
towards my mental fitness and while the
determination and zeal to reach the end
had made every other obstacle look
miniscule, I set out to face them. Slowly but
steadily, I worked towards becoming a
better version of myself and did not let
anything or anyone deter my path to
success.
Talking about pay disparity, the Queen star
said, "I have personally experienced
inequality on the professional front, on
several occasions, and have fought my way
up the ladder to stand shoulder to shoulder
with my male counterparts. I identify very
strongly with the campaign.
Kangana is known for openly talking about
her struggle in the film industry, as an
outsider and during that phase of her life,
how she had an abusive relationship with
actor Aditya Pancholi. She has been in news
for her murky legal battle with actor Hrithik
Roshan over their alleged affair.
