New Delhi: Actress Kangana Ranaut, who portrays former prime minister Indira Gandhi in the upcoming historical drama ‘Emergency’, revealed on Saturday that she had to mortgage her properties while shooting the movie.
Kangana released three photographs on her Instagram account from the set, in which she can be seen posing as the late Indira Gandhi. She captioned the photo by saying that she had to mortgage all she had to finance the film's completion. Furthermore, she said that she had dengue fever during the first schedule of shooting.
“As I wrap Emergency as an actor today… a tremendously glorious phase of my life comes to its full completion… It may seem I sailed through it comfortably but the truth is far from it… From mortgaging all my properties, every single thing that I owned to being diagnosed with dengue during the first schedule and having to film it in spite of alarmingly low blood cell counts, my character as an individual has been severely tested,” she wrote.
In her emotional note, she added, “Hold on to yourself till you can … you are fortunate if life spares you but you are blessed if it doesn’t… if you break and shatter in pieces… celebrate… because it’s time for you to be reborn… it’s a rebirth for me and I feel alive like never before.”
Lastly, Kangana thanked the team and assured her supporters that she is in a "safe location" now, so they need not worry about her. She wrote, “Thanks to my tremendously talented team for making it happen for me … P.S all those who care about me please know that I am in a safe place now … I would have not shared all this if I wasn’t …please don’t worry, I only need your blessings and love ❤️.”
The filming schedule of ‘Emergency’ in Assam had been completed. This year should see the premiere of the historical drama which also stars Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Mahima Chaudhry, and Milind Soman.
