The success of Fashion did not translate into movies, says Kangana Ranaut, recalling a period of struggle where she worked bellow her intelligence to sustain herself in the industry.The actor-BJP MP from Mandi, who will be next seen in Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata, has completed 20 years in the industry that began with a hit debut in 2006 with Anurag Basu’s Gangster: A Love Story.”Whenever you struggle, you should take that time constructively because life is saying something to you and you have to listen to it. When I didn’t have a job, when I struggled, at that time, I asked myself a lot of questions, like, ‘Why am I not getting a job? Why am I not able to do anything better? This phase was after 2007-2008, she said.Ranaut said she was told to hire a manager who worked for top stars and she did exactly that, but it led her to commercial films like “Rascals” and “Dhamaal”.”I knew that I was working below my intelligence. But at that time, I didn’t have that luxury, as people often say today: ‘You should do what you love’. It is such a stupid statement. You should do what is needed… You should do what you can do, you can’t do what you can’t do.”Ranaut, who later went on to direct and produce films, said she finally tasted success when she played “ordinary” women in films like Queen and Tanu Weds Manu.Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata is slated to release in theatres on June 12.
