“I am very happy in life”

Kangana impressed cinegoers in Gangster, Woh Lamhe and Life in a Metro. At the age of 21, the actress who made frizzy hair the new trend in tinsel town has already been roped in for ‘Kites’ with Hrithik Roshan also starring other international artists and is currently riding high on the success of her latest release ‘Fashion’.

In spite of playing second fiddle to Priyanka in Fashion, Kangana has emerged as the true show-stopper of the film. Her portrayal of a troubled model moved the audiences to tears and that is when Renuka Vyavahare decided to put Kangana on Indiatimes’ hot chair and make her talk about her newly found ‘powerful actor’ tag, post Fashion.

“The wardrobe malfunction scene, I am told made the audiences weep for me. I always knew from the beginning that ‘Shonali’s character was made for me. Madhur had told me, “‘Kangana, I don’t know where I would have gone if you wouldn’t have done the role of Shonali. I had no actress other than you in mind for Shonali.” I too always knew that Shonali’s character was made for me. I was guaranteed that the role belonged to me and I knew only I could do it, nobody else could. As far as the scene is concerned, it was like any other scene for me. I was not naked. I didn’t send anyone out as was reported by many publications.

As far as me playing a supporting actor’s role is concerned, “I will not suggest any director to make me the lead actor. Even in Life in a Metro, I did my job well and people liked it. As an actor, you always have a choice, whether to do or not to do a film. I never give ideas to directors asking them to make me lead actors. I don’t do that. I don’t think I would have suited Meghna’s (Priyanka’s) character.

I’ve heard bizarre rumours like even in my real life I have taken to drugs and alcohol! Just because I do roles like these doesn’t mean I am actually like that. Do you think I am alcoholic; does my face look like one? I am very happy in life and I do admit that it is very difficult at this age, when you have all the money, fame, attention and people around you to praise you, you can get carried away but it is difficult to give life a direction, rather than going in the direction where life takes you”, summed Kangana about her phase of life post Fashion.
