Mumbai: Actress Kangana Ranaut says that growing up she was a slob who hated taking a shower, but reading up about energies changed her lifestyle, which can be seen with her promoting cleanliness by playing Goddess Laxmi in a cleanliness campaign.



She was present at the unveiling of a campaign for Swachh Bharat initiative titled "Don't Let Her Go" at Welingkar Institute here.

Then Goddess Laxmi, played by Kangana, is also seen going away and Amitabh Bachchan's voiceover warns of Laxmi disappearing in real life if people litter. WATCH the video below:

Kangana said that Sarkar had asked her if she knew to ride a bike and when she said no, he told her that they would make her sit behind the rider.



But Kangana then asked why a bike and not a Ferrari, he said that she was supposed to see where all garbage was littered by people.

Is Kangana leaving the film industry post ‘Rani Laxmibai’? Here’s what the actress said…

About the concept Kangana said, "Initially I thought it was a different thought. The environment in which I have grown up, be it Goddess Laxmi or Goddess Durga, we have always worshiped it a lot.



So taking up her role was a different and uncomfortable kind of concept. But being an artist, it is the costume of a character on which we all have worked hard on."

Kangana will next be seen in the film "Rangoon".
