"I am extremely proud of my rags to riches story, it's fun to be a misfit or an underdog if you acknowledge your gifts and befriend your obstacles," Kangana told PTI. The actress' early filmography had films like "Woh Lamhe", "Life in a... Metro" and "Fashion", which also earned the actress her first National Award.

In between, she appeared in a string of flops such as "Shakalaka Boom Boom", "Raaz: The Mystery Continues", "Vaada Raha", which almost pushed her into oblivion. Her career got a new lease of life with the 2011 hit romantic-comedy "Tanu Weds Manu" and though she did some forgettable roles in movies likes "Game", "Rascals" and "Tezz", her performance as rebellious Tanu in Aanand L Rai's film stayed with the audience.
Three years later came Vikas Bahl's slice-of-life, inspirational drama "Queen", which was not only a box-office success but gave Kangana a hold in the industry like never before. The actress played an innocent bride-to-be, who is left at the altar by her groom, then goes on a self-discovery journey and emerges as a confident, independent woman. Kangana's sincere and mature performance won the hearts of critics and audience, and also got the actress her second National Award besides making her the highest paid actress in Bollywood.

Her double role in Rai's 2015 rom-com "Tanu Weds Manu Returns" furthered the impact of her acting prowess, getting her a National Award this year. The top star now has films like Vishal Bhardwaj's "Rangoon", Hansal Mehta's "Simran" and Rani Lakshmibai biopic by filmmaker Ketan Mehta.
While she has enjoyed audience's love for her fearless, bold nature in real life, it has also landed her in controveries, the latest being her fight with Hrithik Roshan where both the stars have slapped legal notices on each other.
