In a new interview with entertainment news portal Dainik Bhaskar, Kangana Ranaut was asked about her initial days in the film industry. Kangana spoke about how she moved to Mumbai in 2004 and faced numerous failures before finding success. Her first film released in 2006 and she struggled for the next 8-10 years. In 2014, she was finally recognised as a successful actress, but this success came with its own set of challenges. She recalled how people initially saw her as a talented but underutilised actress and often labelled her as a ‘bechari’. However, once she found success in 2014, the narrative changed and she started receiving criticism. People started saying that she came from a small village and did not deserve the success she had achieved. Ranaut stated that some people accused her of being unprofessional and having problems despite her long years of struggle.

Kangana Ranaut revealed that people she broke up with years ago sent her legal notices, falsely claiming that they had had affairs with her. Ranaut also faced pressure from industry figures like Ketan Mehta and Karan Johar, who reportedly told her to leave the industry. Kangana pointed out that if someone is truly problematic, it would be obvious from the beginning and not something that comes to the fore only after a few years. She highlighted how the film industry is filled with jealousy and hatred, and cited the tragic case of Sushant Singh Rajput as an example of how careers can be destroyed.
