Kangana made her film debut in 2006
Mumbai:
Actress Kangana Ranaut is miffedwith the fact that an actor has to be constantly in the glareof public eye.
"The worst thing about being an actor is that you areconstantly in the limelight. There are times when I feel likebeing left alone. I was 17 when I started working and I don'tremember living on my own. I don't know if I deserve thisstardom," the actress said.
Kangana, 26, made her acting debut in 2006 withGangster and later appeared in hit films like Fashion,Raaz - The Mystery Continues, Once Upon Ay Time In Mumbai,Tanu Weds Manu, Shootout at Wadala, Krrish 3 and others.
She had also gone to New York to study filmmaking andhad a great learning experience there.
"It was a unique experience to go back to school. Ienjoyed sitting in the classroom, attending lectures, doinghomework. I never had any formal education in acting. Iunderstood the techniques of filmmaking but I wanted tounderstand them more," she said.
Kangana enjoyed the anonymity while studying abroad."It was a refreshing change to be anonymous and be myself.While I was studying in New York, I was cooking for myself,doing my laundry, travelling by subways. I found it relaxingand really enjoyed staying alone," she said.
However, the actress left the course mid-way as shehad to promote her film Queen which releases tomorrow.But she is going back in June to complete the course.When asked if the course encouraged her to write ascreenplay for a movie, she said, "I don't know if I want towrite a script. I would love to write and direct but I don'tknow when that will happen."
There are aspects of college life shown in Queen.Kangana says she was quite studious during her academic days."I was a medical student, so I spent most of my schooldays studying to become a doctor. I was very studious. I wasalways paranoid about my results. I would stay up all night tostudy. Most of the time I would either be at home or in thelibrary with my head in the books all the time. I would alwayscompete to top the class," she said.
Queen, directed by Vikas Bahl, stars Rajkummar Rao,Lisa Haydon and others.
