(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) Kangana ranaut on the most ?beautiful time? of her life
her performance in her last two movies queen and revolver rani has earned kangana ranaut the epithet of bollywood’s ‘rani’.
“i feel like this is a beautiful time of my life. i’ve never been respected or treated the way i am right now...the way people have really acknowledged what i do. it is nice” kangana said.
kangana has managed to create a niche for herself in bollywood where star kids are known to rule the roost.
her choice of movies and roles has always been distinct - sample her act in tanu weds manu vis-a-vis her role in revolver rani or gangster - a love story or fashion.
as a viewer too she prefers to watch the kind of cinema she is part of.
“i like what i do and that’s why i do them. i’d like to see something like a queen or dark drama with some humour. i like twisted cinema and universal cinema like queen appeals to me as well” she said.
she admits the perception about her and her ability to perform has changed over the years.
“the perception has changed. but also...initially there weren’t so many great roles and actresses were all about glamorous people with roles where they were tortured by the world...it was all about making a stereotypical film. but there is a variety of films now and it’s great” she added.
kangana spoke on the sidelines of the ndtv indian of the year awards in delhi last week where she was honoured as the actor of the year.
in the recent past kangana had stated that she has decided to stay away from award ceremonies.
but she found this particular award “credible”.
“first i said no for the award then i got a personal letter from prannoy roy (the channel’s head honcho) and it convinced me to come here. it is not a filmy award - they award people from all fields and that’s why i came” she said.
her happiness knew no bounds when she learned that actor-filmmaker aamir khan a fan of her performance in queen was going to present her the award.
“he has been a huge inspiration to me” kangana said of aamir who later gave her a hug for “following her heart” in the industry.
