Kangana Ranaut is clearly the Queen of Bollywood. After delivering a mammoth success like Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi last year, she's clearly at the top of her game. She's fierce and fearless at the same time, but she did have a time when she had to battle her own vulnerabilities, and financial woes. She also discusses how she's completely changed the game being a feminist, talks about not giving in to play small parts to her male counterparts. In fact, she reveals she rejected Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju, Salman Khan's Sultan after which Aditya Chopra apparently told her that he 'would never work with her'. Not just that, she also talks about a film with Bhansali co-starring Shah Rukh Khan that couldn't take off and why she dreams of playing Madhubala with Aamir Khan essaying the role of Dilip Kumar. All this and more in this candid interview.
