Drawing from her own experiences as a struggler in the industry, she shared personal anecdotes and reflected on the challenges she faced on her path to success.

Kangana Ranaut reflects on facing “shady offers” in the industry as a struggler; says, “we have also seen the other side of Mumbai, of Bollywood”

Kangana said, “There are lakhs and lakhs of people coming to Mumbai every day with a dream. Where do these people go? What happens to them? Some of them run away from their homes. I was in a kind of situation where I had shut all the doors behind me. There was no going back for me. What happens to people like me? This thought often occurs to me. This was just one incident that happened in my life. Every day I would get rejected while auditioning. One selection changed my life when Anurag Basu had approved of me. Had that not happened, what would my life be?”

She further added, “All of us, including Nawaz sir, have gone through the grind of those struggling days. Today, we have everything, like stardom and fans, and the world is very kind to us. But we have also seen the other side of Mumbai, of Bollywood, and the underbelly of Bollywood, as we call it the shady audition offices and offers.”

Tiku Weds Sheru will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video from June 23.

Meanwhile, coming to the film front, Kangana was last seen in Dhaakad, which also featured Arjun Rampal and Divya Dutta. The film performed poorly at the box office. Currently, Ranaut is awaiting the release of her next film, which is also her second directorial venture, Emergency. Based on the 1977 Indian Emergency, the ensemble star cast also stars Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Mahima Chaudhry and Milind Soman in pivotal roles. It was slated to release on October 20. However, to avoid a clash with Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon’s Ganapath, Kangana cancelled the release. Ranaut has said that she will announce the release date a month prior along with its trailer in a tweet.
