Kangana enjoys being an 'underdog' in the film industry

Kangana Ranaut, who completed 10 years in the film industry on Thursday, says she is happy to have carved an unconventional career path in Bollywood. Kangana made her Bollywood debut in 2006 with 'Gangster', where she played a troubled woman in love with a gangster.
The National Award-winning actress says she enjoys being an 'underdog' in the film industry. '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 was quoted as saying in a report by TheHindu.com.

The actress worked in films like had 'Woh Lamhe', 'Life in a... Metro' and 'Fashion', which also earned the actress her first National Award. She also 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, says the report.

Vikas Bahl's slice-of-life, inspirational drama 'Queen', which was a huge box-office success gave Kangana a hold in the industry like never before. The actress played an innocent bride-to-be in Queen, who is left at the altar by her groom, then goes on a self-discovery journey and emerges as a confident, independent woman.
This year 'Tanu Weds Manu Returns' furthered the impact of her acting prowess, getting her a National Award this year. Kangana is now reportedly working in films like films Vishal Bhardwaj's 'Rangoon', Hansal Mehta's 'Simran' and Rani Lakshmibai biopic by filmmaker Ketan Mehta.
