Kangana Ranaut
Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut said that while growing up, she used to impersonate models by doing catwalks. The actress said she worked quite hard with the hope that she would be accepted in showbiz.
Asked if she thought she would make it big in the fashion world too, Kangana said: "When I was young I didn't have any guarantee, but I hoped that I get accepted. I remember in the night times I used to rehearse... I was a science student and I was hard working. I used to wake up in the nights and wear heels and try and impersonate the catwalk I used to see on Fashion TV. I remember working very hard and hoping I make it someday."
The 31-year-old actress says every time she walks the runway, it takes her back to her days of Fashion, the Madhur Bhandarkar directorial in which plays a supermodel. "That's the only time I played a supermodel and I used to rehearse a lot because I never had a modelling background. I never modelled before. So, now when I do these walks it definitely takes me back to my Fashion days," she said.
The Queen actress wore a midnight blue asymmetrical dress with black embellishments. She completed her look with cobalt blue eyeliner, nude make-up and tied her hair into a chic side-parted ponytail.
On the garment, she said: "The credit goes to Pankaj & Nidhi for my look and team who have done my hair, makeup and entire styling. I am comfortable because their garments are not just for editorials or for ramp walks. It is for real people to wear for everyday events, parties or festivals. I just feel that not just beautiful or edgy but are also practical."
On the professional front, Kangana will next be seen in Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, which will release next year in January. She is also shooting for Mental Hai Kya along with Rajkummar Rao which will hit the screens in February.
