Kangana Ranaut made her acting debut with Gangster in 2006. And although the film did well at the box office, the actor had to overcome several hurdles to survive in the industry. And even though she admits that she \u201chated all the obstacles\u201d, the actor says that she \u201cloves\u201d her story.<\/div>\n
\u201cMine has been a journey of a thousand miles. I didn\u2019t fly first class into Mumbai. I have travelled in buses, taxis and trains, and even walked a lot. I have slept on the pavement, since I didn\u2019t have a house. I have been caught in traps, so I had to lodge complaints against people. I have seen the ugly side. On the other hand, I have also been awarded by the President twice, and I am the highest-paid actress today (smiles),\u201d says Kangy.<\/div>\n
The actor, however, made the most of every challenge she faced. \u201cWhen I came to Mumbai, I was a small-town girl, and didn\u2019t know anything. But here I am today, utilising all those things and making a difference on such a big platform. Everything that worked against me initially has turned in my favour,\u201d says the 28-year-old, adding that she would like to write about her journey someday.<\/div>\n
Talking about how she overcame the challenges, the National Award-winning actor says, \u201cWhat matters is the way you think…Just love yourself, and don\u2019t subject yourself to comparisons. I started utilising everything (I had) as a boon, as opposed to thinking,<\/div>\n
\u2018Why is my hair curly? Why don\u2019t I have blue eyes? Why am I not 5\u201911 or why am I not an expat?\u2019. When I started looking at the obstacles like boons, everything changed.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
