Top 50 Most Desirable Women: No.35 - The "Queen Of Controversy" Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut has been on the Times of India's list of Most Desirable Women for several times. Currently, she places 35th rank in the list and still keeps it up as one of the hottest women of India.

Kangana Ranaut was born in Bhamba, close to Manali, on March 20^th, 1987. Kangana grew up in Dehra Dun and enrolled in DAV’s High School. She not only studied Elocution, participated in a lot of debates but also was a very decent basketball player. Having graduated from high school, she became a student of Science College, located in Simla.

When she was 16, she denied getting married and moved to Delhi where she was enrolled in the Elite School of Modeling, tried some theater acting and joined Smita Theater Group under director Arvind Gaur’s guidance. Also, she is a professional Kathak dancer.

She didn’t inherit the artistry from her family. Kangana’s father works as a businessman and her mother is a Sanskrit teacher.

Not having any acquaintances in Bollywood, she had been through a lot of struggles to be successful as today. Her decision to be an actress was disapproved by her father and she was cast out from home without any financial support. Due to having no money and nowhere to stay, she had to sleep on the pavement and go around on auto rickshaw.

In 2013, PETA considered Kangana the "India's hottest vegetarian". She affirmed:

To win the reputable National Film Awards when she was only 22, Kangana herself is one of the youngest actresses to achieve this attainment. The prize she received was Best Supporting Actress for Fashion (2008). After that, she continued to win National Awards successively in 2015 for the Queen movie (2014) and in 2016 for Tanu Weds Manu Returns movie (2015). This categorizes her in one of the three actresses who managed to be awarded consecutively. The rest of the actresses are Archana and Shabana Azmi.

Kangana is allegedly the Bollywood actress to receive the highest gross for a movie. It is said that Kangana got 110 million rupees for her acting in Rangoon 2017 and will be paid Rs 24 crore for portraying  J. Jayalalithaa, former Tamil Nadu chief minister in a movie based on the life of the actor-politician.

The actress refused to promote a fairness cream brand, although she was offered quite a sum for it. She showed her clear opinion about going against racism:

The Queen star is bathing in the success of her movies. Kangana Ranaut has been highly praised and aspired to collaborate with by every director.

In addition, she is well known for her easy-to-adapt and empirical style. Along with being an amazing actress, she also knows just how to make herself outstanding and genuine in her own skin.

She drinks water a lot and eats healthily to keep her body lively and fit. She is also committed to doing exercises, such as yoga, squats, push-ups, and pull-ups. From time to time, she chooses dance when not in the mood for going to the gym. She takes 45 minutes to do yoga and 10 minutes to meditate in the fitness regime. This act helps keep inner self peaceful and tranquil.

She is undoubtedly the role model of Indian and women all over the world as to how to be independent, beautiful and successful.
