Kangana Ranaut was born in a prestigious family of Himachal Pradesh. Her grandfather was an IAS officer and father a businessman. But Kangana was less interested in studies and more in films from the very beginning. When she was only 15 years old, she had decided that she wanted to make a name for herself in the film world. While studying at DAV School, she reached Chandigarh where she participated in modeling and fashion events. She worked hard here but did not get recognition.
City of dreams Mumbai and initial struggle
After failing in Chandigarh, Kangana Ranaut reached Mumbai chasing her dreams. She was only 19 years old then. Here she gave many auditions to get work in films. She also tried her hand in the world of modeling but success was far away. After struggling for many years, her luck turned when she met director Anurag Basu at a party. This meeting proved to be the biggest start of her career.
This evening I drove to my parents house as my grandfather Shri Braham Chand Ranaut wasn’t keeping well for past few months, just when I reached home he had already passed away.
He was 90 years old still had an impeccable sense of humour and we all called him Daddy. OM Shanti 🙏 pic.twitter.com/rbD14T6CCD— Kangana Ranaut (@KanganaTeam) December 14, 2020
Recognition from ‘Gangster’
Anurag Basu gave Kangana a chance in his film ‘Gangster’. Kangana gave a tremendous performance in this film and won the hearts of the people overnight. The film was a hit and Kangana started getting many films one after the other. She played brilliant roles in films like ‘Woh Lamhe’, ‘Shaka Laka Boom Boom’, and ‘Life in a Metro’. After this, it seemed as if Kangana’s film journey was not going to stop.
Made films hit on her own
Kangana Ranaut is one of those few actresses of Bollywood who has the ability to make films hit on her own. Films like ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ and ‘Queen’ proved that she is not just an actress but can carry the entire film on her shoulders. In ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’, she played a double role and made the audience completely crazy about her. Kangana’s films not only earned at the box office but also got her a National Award.
Now Kangana is also showing her strength in Parliament
Now Kangana Ranaut is not just an actress but also an MP. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, she contested from Mandi seat of Himachal Pradesh on a BJP ticket and won with a huge majority. Now she is working as the voice of the people in Parliament. Kangana’s journey from being a common girl to becoming an MP is a living example of her hard work and courage.
