As The Queen Star Kangana Ranaut Turns A Year Older, A Look At 5 Highlights Of Her Career

There was a time when Kangana Ranaut’s claim to fame was the fact that she was Aditya Pancholi’s live-in girlfriend (and the fact that they got into nasty fights in public). Today, things have changed drastically and the then-struggler has become one of Bollywood’s biggest actresses. She is one of the crowd now and rubs shoulder with divas like Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, to name a few.

The progress has been slow, yes, but Kangana is here to stay. As we wish the curly haired beauty a happy birthday, let’s look at five major highlights from her career that made her the star that she is today.

Gangster

Kangana debuted in 2006 with Gangster opposite Emran Hashmi and ShineyAhuja. The film was a huge hit and she bagged the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. It is quite a feat to be noticed in your very first film, especially with already popular co-stars, but Kangana managed it, and how!

Life In A… Metro

Life In A… Metro happened in 2007 and Kangana was cast opposite Kay Kay Menon. We seriously thought that she would be overshadowed but the actress’s portrayal of a troubled young lady was so perfect that we had to chew our thoughts. Also, she made glasses look sexy.

Fashion

Although Priyanka Chopra was the main lead in Fashion, Kangana’s role was appreciated much more. She played Shonali Gujral, a once-successful-but-now-on-a-downward-spiral model. Priyanka was already an established actress by the time Fashion happened and no one thought that Kangana would steal the show. Her brilliant performance, however, made her stand out.

Tanu Weds Manu

Just when we thought that Kangana could only be trusted with dark and edgy roles, the birthday girl threw Tanu Weds Manu at us and we couldn’t help but marvel at the fun-loving and quirky Tanuja Trivedi. Her chemistry with R Madhavan was amazing and she looked absolutely adorable as a typical Punjaban. We can hardly wait for Tanu Weds Manu 2!

Queen

The lady’s most iconic film till date and one that got her the Filmfare Award for Best Actress, Queen was a slow but sure-fire hit. Kangana played a coming-of-age-ish role and her portrayal of Rani was so perfect that we don’t think anyone else could have pulled it off. With Queen, Kangana quickly climbed the ranks and is now one of tinsel town’s biggest and most sought-after actresses. She’s here to stay!
