Kangana Ranaut's note to her younger self

Sharing the video on X (formerly Twitter), Kangana wrote, "This is a video from my second film 'Woh Lamhe' music launch. I was just a teenager and, like every young woman, I disliked everything about my appearance. No young woman thinks she's attractive or beautiful, which probably makes them more vulnerable, innocent, and approachable. Even on stage, I look unsure of myself, but today I'd give anything to look like I did back then. It’s not just the looks, but the natural vitality, agility, and overall energy I didn’t appreciate at the time."

She further added, "My message to all the ladies out there: today is the youngest you'll ever be. Every age and stage is beautiful, so learn to be kind to yourself. Even if you can’t find beauty in your reflection now, when you look back, you’ll see it. Trust that you are beautiful today." She ended the message with a red heart emoji.
