Kangana Ranaut<\/a> made a strong debut with her performance in Gangster in 2006. Kangana, who is busy promoting her upcoming film Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, opened up about how her parents’ reaction to her first film broke her heart, and it was only after she won the National Award<\/a> that things turned around.<\/p>\n

\"KanganaKangana Ranaut made her Bollywood debut with Anurag Basu’s romantic-thriller Gangster.What Kangana said<\/p>\n

During the chat, Kangana shared that her family perceived the film industry had been under the influence of the underworld. After she became successful, she asked her mother to move to Mumbai to stay with her, but she was told she needed to find her own way out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were not very okay with what I was doing, but they knew that I would figure it out by myself. After Gangster<\/a>, my father did not even give me any response. When I asked my mother, she said, \u2018Nahi hamara samajh mein thoda ye hai ki ap chhotey bhi ho, underage bhi ho\u2026 iss tarah se scene aap se karwa liye (You are underage and they made you do these scenes).\u201d So I replied that you only saw those scenes in this entire film? I was so heartbroken that that\u2019s how they perceived that film, because they were thinking what society would think. After that, I thought I would never expect any review of my films from my parents because they have never seen films.”<\/p>\n

She went on to add, \u201cWhen Mr Bachchan sent me a beautiful letter about my performance in Queen, I thought how Mr Bachchan can perceive it, my father cannot perceive it\u2026 and I cannot have a grudge against my father for that because he is not an artist. His work is different. Then, when I got the National Award, they were very happy. That was the turning point for them, me getting the award from the President of India.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kangana won her first National Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in Fashion. She went on to win three Best Actress awards, for Queen, Tanu Weds Manu Returns<\/a> and jointly for Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and Panga.<\/p>\n
