Bollywood’s undisputed queen Kangana Ranaut talked about her struggling days in Bollywood at the trailer launch of her production Tiku Weds Sheru. The actress recalled facing rejections every day before she debuted with Anurag Basu's film Gangster. Kangana revealed that she has seen the other side of the industry, the ‘underbelly of Bollywood like shady audition offices and offers. She stated she has gone through the grind of those struggling days.
Speaking at the launch event, the Tanu Weds Manu actress stated, “There are lakhs and lakhs of people coming to Mumbai every day with a dream. Where do these people go? What happens to them? Some of them run away from their homes. I was in a kind of situation where I had shut all the doors behind me. There was no going back for me. What happens to people like me? This thought often occurs to me. This was just one incident that happened in my life. Every day I would get rejected while auditioning. One selection changed my life when Anurag Basu approved of me. Had that not happened, what would my life be?” ALSO READ: Kangana Ranaut Announces Nawazuddin Siddiqui-Avneet Kaur Starrer Tiku Weds Sheru’s Release Date; Movie To Be Streamed On OTT- Deets Inside
