Kangana Ranaut: People Tried To Shame Me For Not Knowing English!

Kangana Ranaut hails from a small town in Himachal Pradesh and her journey to Bollywood was not very easy and smooth as she had to face several hurdles to reach the point where she is today. The worst of them all was when people mocked her for not knowing fluent English and some even made fun of her dressing sense. She said,

"I do not find anything embarrassing about my born existence. People tried to shame me, coming from small town, not being able to speak English, not being able to dress up properly. But that didn't shake anything in me. I always operated from the place of my individuality. Even today when I work, the first reaction I get from people is 'oh she is a delicate beautiful girl' but as I go about my work, it disappears."

The Queen actress also revealed that it is important for women to believe in themselves to be treated equally. "Women have to first believe in themselves as equals, only then they will get that sort of treatment. Today I can proudly say, that within five days of shooting any film, I am treated like anyone else on sets."

Kangana also feels as individuals, actors have opinions on certain issues that are happening around the country. "As individuals we do belong to the country but in a very individual way, we all care about what is happening in the country, in politics, what leaders are doing. In a democracy what a leader does is the reflection of what we have chosen for us."
