Kangana: I hated my performance in TanuWeds Manu

'I came to this city with Rs 1,500.
Today, I have a lavish apartment, I
drive in beautiful cars.'
'After I made my Rs 1,500, everything
else is a bonus.'
Kangana Ranaut talks about her
success in Bollywood.
She recently won her second NationalAward for her fabulous performance in
Queen, and she's starred in quite a few
brilliant films in her eight-year-old career
but Kangana Ranaut feels she still has a
long way to go.
Ranaut is all set for her next release Tanu
Weds Manu Returns, a sequel to 2011
sleeper hit. The new film will see her in a
double role.
The 28-year-old-actress has never shied
away from speaking her mind. In this
conversation with Sonil Dedhia/ Rediff.com, Ranaut tells us why she is happy with the way
her career has shaped up.
You won your second National Award for Queen. Did that boost your confidence?
It definitely did. I wasnt expecting a National Award for Queen.
In Bollywood, we know which films have released and which performances are most sought
after, but on the national level you do not track everything.
You dont know which film has released where and hence, you dont have preconceived notions.
For instance, I know Vijay (the Kannada actor) is a terrific performer, but I havent seen his
movie (Nanu Avanalla Avalu) for which he won the National Award.
Has the success of Queen encouraged you to tackle new subjects?
I have always had the confidence to experiment.
After I did Tanu Weds Manu, I was offered The Dirty Picture but I chose Queen because I was
sure that I didnt want to play those neurotic characters.
After the success of Tanu Weds Manu and Queen, has peoples perception of you
changed?
This is not the pinnacle of my career. The opinion of others does not matter to me because if it
did, I wouldnt have lasted till now. I would have been full of self-doubt and irrational doubts.

I have a strong sense of what is achievable and what is not.
The good thing is that I am not to getting carried away by it all.
You once said that you consider yourself the struggler of the century. Do you still
think so?
I think everyone in this industry has to struggle.
For me, getting good work is no longer a struggle.
There was a time when getting work was a struggle, but not any more.
I have always been an outsider and that is not going to change.
There are different levels of struggle now, but its not as intense as it used to be. I still have a
long way to go, though.

Tanu Weds Manu was the turning point in your career. Do you feel underpressure to deliver an even better performance in the sequel?
There is no pressure because I am very confident about the film and I have evolved as a
person and as an actor.
By the way, I hated my performance in Tanu Weds Manu. I cannot stand it.
But this time it is good; I like my performance.
Tanu Weds Manu Returns starts where the previous film left off. Was it difficult
to recreate the same character?
It is always difficult to make a sequel when the story takes off from exactly where it left off in
the last film.
A lot of things change in four years, particularly the physical appearance of the actors.
The bigger challenge was learning Haryanvi, but fortunately, I had a very good teacher.
You play a double role in the film. You were aware of the nuances of Tanu, but
how did you prepare for the character of Datto?
I think that was the biggest challenge.
I approach my characters in three stages -- first is physical appearance. We worked on her
physical appearance -- the dentures, short hair and athletic look.
The second is the emotional aspect of a character. And the third is the body language.

Actresses usually avoid getting married before they are 30. Does marriage affectan actresss career and sex appeal?
Marriage doesnt hamper sex appeal at all.
I cannot speak for others, but I have worked hard for 10 years and there has been no time to
get involved in relationships.
Now that I have reached the point where I am doing so well, I dont want to give it away.
Also, when love happens, you dont think so much, and if it doesnt, then dont force yourself.
If it happens, it can happen at 21 also, and if it doesnt happen, it may not happen till 48.
Do you believe in the institution of marriage or would you prefer a live-in
relationship?
To each his own depending on the partner and whether you feel comfortable, safe, and secure.
Living-in can be tricky at times. So can marriage, especially when people around you are going
through ugly legal battles.
Now that you are in the top league, will we see you in films like Rascals or doing
special songs?
As long as my kitchen is running, I wont. If not, then I dont mind.
What is wrong in work? You cannot look down upon any work.
I came to this city with Rs 1,500. Today, I have a lavish apartment, I drive in beautiful cars.
After I made my Rs 1,500, everything else is a bonus.
