Kangana Ranaut: Lesser known facts

Kangana Ranaut is known to go to great lengths to make her characters look convincing. Don’t you remember how she adopted the Haryanvi dialect for her role in ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’? Now, she is doing it again – this time, for her biopic ‘Rani Lakshmi Bai’. The actress wants to ensure that she delivers a powerful performance in her role of the feisty warrior queen of the 19th century. According to reports, the actress has enrolled for a crash course in horse riding in Germany. The country is known for its horse riding programs in Bavaria and the Rhine Valley. It has been reported that Kangana might even spend a few days in the stables there to learn the craft. The actress is currently shooting for ‘Simran’ in the US. Once she wraps up the Hansal Mehta-directed film, she will move on to the promotions of ‘Rangoon’. It is only after the shoot of ‘Simran’ and ‘Rangoon’ promotions are out of her way that Kangana will fly off to Germany to begin prep on ‘Rani Lakshmi Bai’.

National Award winning actress Kangana Ranaut was awarded the ‘Woman of the year’ title at a recent award show held by a popular men’s magazine. The star, who has made her mark in the industry, without ever starring opposite either of the three Khans, beat out tough competition to bag the top prize at the award show. However, new reports claim that it wasn’t the ‘Queen’ star, but the ‘Quantico’ actress Priyanka Chopra, who was the initial pick for the honour. Priyanka has been making her mark on the global platform, with her television show and her much talked-about and eagerly awaited Hollywood debut, ‘Baywatch’ and hence, the organisers thought she fit the bill. However, as the actress couldn’t leave her shoot to attend the award show, the organisers allegedly shortlisted and picked Kangana, as she agreed to make an appearance at the award show.

Actress Kangana Ranaut was at an event in the city, where she spilled the beans about her ‘dirty’ past. The ‘Rangoon’ star revealed that she was really lazy and hated taking baths. “I was really lazy, and hated taking a shower. My parents were fed up. Honestly, nothing good ever happened in my life during that phase. I didn’t make friends, no opportunities came my way,” Kangana told reporters. “Then I read a lot about elements, composition and energies. I got to know that energies are of three types, one of them being cleanliness which is the most superior type. It is the truth.” Kangana was speaking at the launch of a short film ‘Don’t let her go’, that is a part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan initiative. The actress revealed that she studied Vedanta, followed Swami Vivekananda and soon found her life changing after she adopted these techniques. “When I started adopting that, things started changing in life. Now, I take a shower, stay clean and make sure I don’t litter. I haven’t littered for the past 12 years," she added. On the work front, Kangana is awaiting the release of her periodic war drama ‘Rangoon’.

As per a report on SpotBoyE.com, Kangana Ranaut will be playing the role of a stand-up comic artist in a rom-com directed by none other than Rajkumar Hirani. A source is quoted in the report saying that Hirani and Kangana share mutual respect for each other and have been wanting to work on a film together for some time now. If all goes well, this will be the second time she will team-up with the ‘3 Idiots’ director after a commercial, which also featured with Amitabh Bachchan. The report also suggests that in the yet untitled film, Kangana Ranaut will be playing the central character.

Rangoli is around four years older than me but there's just a gap of a year-and-a-half between me and my younger brother who is a pilot.

Kangana Ranaut is currently a top-notch actress, however there is a story behind how the actress left home to pursue her aspirations. According to an interview in Bombay Times, Kangana Ranaut had revealed that she was studying science at a hostel in Chandigarh when she came in touch with art and culture. The interview further quoted Kangana as saying that she would cry seeing someone in pain and felt that science, as a field, was not meant for her. She apparently wanted to quit her education and pursue sculpting. According to the Bombay Times report when her father slapped her for the first time at the age of 15, she retorted saying that if you slap me, I will slap you back.

According to a Bombay Times report, after a showdown with her father, Kangana Ranaut was asked to leave the house and the actress obeyed and left without any money. The journey there onwards was not as easy for her. The report quoted Kangana as saying that she lived with her best friend, Jaspreet, who was elder to her by ten years.

A Bombay Times report quoted Kangana Ranaut as saying that while she was staying alone her father came and gave her Rs 50,000 so that she could take care of herself. However, Kangana did not accept the money and feels that it was one of the most damaging things that scarred her relationship with her father.

Kangana Ranaut landed her first acting job by replacing another actress, Chitrangada Singh. While on The Anupam Kher Show - Kucch Bhi Ho Sakta Hai, Kangana revealed the story being being cast as the leading lady in Gangster. Kangana said, "At that time Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi had just released and the Bhatts had signed Shiney Ahuja for the role. They felt I was very young for the role as they wanted someone older, hence they signed Chitrangada. However one day, Anurag Basu desperately gave me a call as they wanted to go on outdoor shoot and Chitrangada was not answering their calls. I think it was at that time that she decided to quit movies, and I got Gangster. He said we will apply makeup and make you look older."

Kangana Ranaut took a bold step with Gangster and shot for a kissing scene with Emraan Hashmi. Apparently, her father did not react positively to it. In an interview with Bombay Times, Kangana Ranaut revealed that her father did not talk to her after watching the film because of the kissing scene, and even her grandfather messaged her and asked her to drop the surname. Kangana further stated in the interview that she loved her father and if there was one thing that she wanted to change in the past, it was to accept the money that her father had come to give her, because then even he would have been a part of her success today.

There has never been an easy way out to make it big in Bollywood and there was a point when Kangana was struggling. Speaking to Bombay Times, Kangana Ranaut confessed that she went through a difficult time when she came to Mumbai and that she was badly treated and was misunderstood. Even the success of Gangster couldn't make much of a difference to her career as the actress had no work for two years.

The report further stated that when Kangana did not have work, she would cut ribbon and earn money to take care of her sister.

Kangana Ranaut was applauded for her performance in Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion. While the film did not feature her in the leading role, she played a vital character. Kangana revealed that she never wanted to do the film. The actress said, "I didn't want to do Fashion because I had done title roles. But I worked hard for the role, I learnt how to cook, did research for my drug addict scenes, understood the withdrawal symptoms, perfected my catwalk. My graph was coming down and I knew it was my last chance. Fashion definitely was a turning point." While she was initially not keen on the character, it was Fashion which won the actress a national award.

Kangana Ranaut has been in the industry for less than a decade but has a whole lot of successful films to her credit. However, Kangana is apparently not a fan of films.
