Kangana Ranaut on turning 31 today: I want to be the woman I’ve always wanted to be

Kangana Ranaut turns 31 today. As she is celebrating her birthday today, she was asked by a leading Indian daily about her plans this year, Kangana said, "As you get into your 30s, there is a shift in your personality. The things you really want become clear to you. Besides professional growth, I want to grow in the personal space, too. I want to improve my personality, learn many other things, and be the woman I’ve always wanted to be."

She further said, "I am halfway there, but I can do so much better. As an actor, you are either in your character, or studying other people — you hardly get time to be yourself. This is the time I want to do all that."

Speaking about Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, Kangana said, "I look forward to promoting Manikarnika. It is the highest-budget female-centric film in India." She added, "They are planning a massive campaign to promote the movie, which releases in August. Rani Laxmibai deserves it. It is her legacy and we are just a medium to present it."

Talking about her birthday plans, she said, "It is going to be like any other day here. I will be gardening and having my piano classes. My family has planned an elaborate lunch, though I don’t like to eat much."

On the work front, Kangana will be sharing screen space with Rajkummar Rao in Mental Hai Kya? Kangana Ranaut's upcoming film Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi is slated to release on 27 April 2018.
