Comparing her journey with Khan, who comes from Delhi and has seen his fair share of struggles, Kangana said,''You talk about Shah Rukh Khan. They are from Delhi, convent-educated. I was from a village that nobody would have even heard of – Bhamla,”

“Maybe others may disagree, but I feel it’s because I am brutally honest, not just with people but with myself too,” she added.

Kangana Ranaut's journey to stardom

Ranaut is one of the finest Indian actresses, known for her prolific performances and versatility. But the actress’s journey was not an easy one. Hailing from Bhamla, Himachal Pradesh, Kangana ran away from home to become an actor.

She made her debut in the film industry at the age of 19 with Gangster and went on to give several critically acclaimed performances. Some of her notable films include Queen, Manikarnika, Thalaivii, Tanu Weds Manu Returns, and others.

After her 18 of career, Ranaut has now turned a politician and is now a Member of Parliament (MP) from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh.
