Bollywood actress and Queen Kangana Ranaut has been popular not only for her acting skills but also for her outspoken personality.

Kangana Ranaut: Early Days Challenges
Kangana Ranaut was born on March 23, 1987, in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh. Her father is a businessman, and her mother is a teacher. Before pursuing acting, her parents desired her to become a doctor, which she attempted, but failed a Chemistry exam in 12th grade. Consequently, she realized that this wasn’t the path she wished to pursue.
Afterward, she informed her parents that she didn’t want to pursue acting, which angered them. Since that day, they engaged in arguments every day. Then, one day, Kangana decided to enroll in a vocational course. She packed her bags and moved to Chandigarh to live with her friend.
At the age of 16, she found herself on her own as she wasn’t receiving any financial support from her parents. After a while, she relocated to Delhi, where she took on a few modeling assignments. However, she found the work monotonous and transitioned to theatre, where she learned acting under the guidance of director Arvind Gaur.
Journey from Theatre to Bollywood
While pursuing theatre in Delhi, her modeling agency sent her for an audition for Mahesh Bhatt’s Gangster, which she attended. However, she didn’t receive any response for a long time.
Consequently, she moved back to Delhi. According to Kangana’s recent interview with Hindustan Times, actress Chitrangada Singh was initially the first choice for Gangster, but as she wasn’t available, Kangana got the opportunity, which proved to be a turning point in her career. She received much praise for her role and garnered critical acclaim.

When Kangana entered Bollywood, her communication skills weren’t as polished as those of other actresses. Specifically, her English was not fluent, and she often faced mockery and ridicule because of it.
Consequently, she found it challenging to fit into Bollywood parties for a long time. However, she dedicated herself to improving her speaking skills, and today, she has become a better and more refined individual.

A year later, Pancholi informed the media that he was living with Ranaut and accused her of owing him ₹55 lakh rupees. In response to this statement, Kangana’s representative stated that after enduring physical abuse and mental torment, she owed him nothing; however, as a goodwill gesture, he was given a sum of ₹63 lakh rupees.
