Kangana Ranaut: Not the flavour of the season and don't want to be

Kangana Ranaut: Not the flavour of the season and don't want to be

Kangana won the National Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Fashion

Highlights

  • The success of Queen has catapulted Kangana Ranaut into the big league, but the "self-made" actress who has given quite a few good films in her eight-year long career, says she is only "trying to make her own identity" and doesn't aspire to win "flavour of the season" tag.
  • From her first film Gangster - A Love Story to Woh Lamhe, Life In A Metro, Fashion and Tanu Weds Manu, the 27-year-old proved her mettle whenever she faced the camera. But the success of Vikas Bahl directed Queen, which has collected about Rs 50 crore at the domestic box-office, is like icing on the cake.
  • But the success hasn't gone to her head and she says, "I am a self-made person. Whatever I have achieved till date, I have struggled a lot for it."
  • "Queen of Bollywood is just a tag, which is given to different actresses every month, so I don't want any such tag," the actress told reporters on March 26 at the film's success party hosted by Vikas.
  • Kangana, who won National Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of a troubled model in Fashion, will next be seen playing the lead in Revolver Rani, releasing on April 25.
  • "I have been struggling from the last eight years to reach where I have reached today. I am still not the flavour of the season and I don't aspire to be one. I do my job honestly. I do different kind of work and I am trying to make my own identity," she said.
