Kangana Ranaut: I don't like anything about my job

December 3, 2016

Mumbai, Dec 3: She may have bagged National awards and won a lot of acclaim for her work, but actress Kangana Ranaut says she does not like anything' about her job. The 29-year-old actress says she does not like what she goes through while portraying different characters in her films.

Kangana"I don't like anything about my job, to be honest. I don't like to meet these crazy people who I have to, as my characters. I don't like the situations and circumstances my characters go through. I don't like to emote to imaginary circumstances."

"I don't like to go in mud and water when it is zero degree. Honestly I don't like anything about my job." When asked how does she deal with it, she quips, "I remind myself the bills that I have to pay."

Kangana was in conversation with Manu Joseph at the Times LitFest here. The 29-year-old says when she is approaching a new character in a film, her process involves 'sculpting' the imaginary person in front of her and conversing with her, before finally fully knowing the role. The process, however, can be too taxing at times with the character almost overpowering the real self which can be dangerous for actors.

"Actors need to bring about certain sensitivity by stimulating to situations which don't exist, where you can almost behave mechanically to situations. Like 'action' and you have to enact. Over a period, you can grow to be emotionally unhealthy, or sensitive." The 'Queen' star recalls how she went through a very emotional process while shooting for 'Katti Batti'.

"When I was playing a cancer patient in 'Katti Batti', I was enacting my death scenes, I would cry all the time even for the smallest things. I had become so sensitive that I had to literally take care of myself, that it doesn't affect my emotional and physical health."

Kangana says, it is in this regard that if not an actress, she would rather be a director as soon as she can. "I would rather be a director. There is always that next step that you want to take, but that doesn't mean that I cannot (get) enough to unleash my creative forces where I already am. At some point I would like to (be a director), as soon as I can.

New Delhi, Apr 11: Actor Hema Malini on Saturday expressed concern over the health workers, who are being treated badly and are restricted to enter their own building.

The 71-year-old actor took to Instagram and shared a video where she expressed concern over the situation the health workers are going through. "Friends, I have seen this in various news channels and I am very sad that the health workers are being treated very badly. They are being restricted to enter their own building," she said.

The 'Baghban' actor further said: "Just think, in such times, they are our safeguards amid such situation (coronavirus outbreak). They are the ones who are going to ground level and are finding out the patients suffering from the disease."

She went on to add that "they do so, to save you. Remember, opposing them is to play with the safety of the country and every citizen. That is why we should honour them. Jai Hind."

In the post accompanying the video, she wrote, "Some of you might have watched the following interview on India TV where I have spoken about how I spend a typical day during this lockdown and social distancing period. This is for those of you who might have missed it!"

The post garnered more than 1.3k views within 35 minutes of being posted on the photo-sharing platform.

Just like other celebrities, Hema Malini is also practicing self-isolation amid the 21-day government-imposed lockdown in view of coronavirus outbreak.

India's total cases of coronavirus on Saturday climbed to 7,529 including 242 deaths and 652 people, who have either been cured or discharged, said the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Saturday.

Shot primarily in the Valley, the movie is being promoted mainly as a journey of love between the lead couple.
