The industry makes you a stronger person: Kangana

Pune’s MG Road saw some oomph and star-power shine on the already-happening street with Kangana Ranaut, the fashionable actress in Pune at the launch of the Red Tape showroom recently.

Looking glamorous in a blue dress and knee-length socks and some chic chaussure, Kangana managed to bedazzle onlookers with the impressive ensemble.

Having played intense roles in movies such as Gangster, Woh Lamhe, Shakalaka Boom Boom, Life in a… Metro, the actress has scaled new heights by starring in Fashion, a film directed by Madhur Bhandarkar who is known for making realistic movies.

She is working with Priyanka Chopra and Arbaaz Khan in the movie about the fashion-culture in India. Chopra has been playing mentor to the promising neophyte asking Ranaut to accept more roles and experiment with different kinds of movies. But the persistent twenty-year-old who wishes to be typecast as a serious actor says, "I am not yet an established actor and I can't afford to make a fool of myself by doing senseless masala movies. I want to work with directors whose works are conceptually as well as technically good."

Not wanting to play an ingénue on the big screen, she clearly demonstrates that she is no babe in the woods.

Known for depicting close to life roles, she is playing a supermodel in Fashion. She is also said to have herself done a wardrobe malfunction scene in the movie. Not ready to divulge any details, she says, "The movie is going to release in September and it is too early to talk about it."

About Pune she says, "Pune is one of my favourite places. The people here are nice and calm."

The tall beauty, in her adolescence, aspired to become a model and also hoped to travel to Paris. But with the chance success of her first movie, Gangster, her career took another turn. She still continues to design clothes for herself. "Fashion has always been an important element in my life," she explains.

She is also set to star in Mukesh Bhatt’s hugely awaited Razz 2. Talking about her early success, the seductive actor with her ethereal voice says, “It's an artistic industry, people around me sometimes do crazy stuff. I have had to cope with all of that but I have managed well." But it certainly has its perks. "I also love the independence that the job offers me. The industry also makes you wiser and stronger as a person," says Ranaut.
