Highlights

  • Acknowledging that she has made it on her own in Bollywood, actress Kangana Ranuat says a few flop films do not have much of an impact on her career.
  • Kangana, who hails from a small town of Himachal Pradesh, is known for her performances in Gangster, Fashion, Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, Raaz 2, Tanu Weds Manu, Shootout at Wadala and has also won a National award. However, her films like Kites, No Problem, Double Dhamaal, Rascals and others did not do well.
  • "It is not that I regret doing any film. We are independent women who run their own houses and it is not necessary that you can always get the kind of work you want to do. So sitting ideal and jobless at home is not the option. These films may not have done great but they could have done worse also," Kangana said.
  • "By doing these films you get out of your problems and the makers also get to work with you, so it is a win-win situation for everyone. Films like Double Dhamaal, Rascals don't badly affect your career, it has not affected my career till now, it could have been worse. So I have only gratitude for films like these," she said.
  • The actress says if these films would not have come her way, she might have ended up doing an item number in a regional film.
  • After achieving success in Bollywood on her own, even her family is reacting quite positively to her work today.
  • "My sister likes me in films like Queen, my brother likes me in science fiction space and my parents like to see me doing more conventional stuff like Rajjo etc," she said.
  • Her upcoming films Queen, Rajjo and Revolver Rani seem to be women centric. In Queen she plays a naive girl from Delhi, she plays the role of a nautch girl in Rajjo and is a dacoit-cum-politician in Revolver Rani.
