Theatre beginnings

Before she got her big break with Gangster in 2005, Kangna started out as a theatre actor in Delhi with the Asmita Theatre Group. Her first play with Arvind Gaur was Girish Karnad's Taledanda.

Branching out

Kangna doesn't want to limit her creative process as just an actress. She’s has written a period film -- an assignment for her course -- and tried her hand at directing a nine-minute short film.

Nerd alert

Hard as it may seem to believe, Kangna describes her younger self as a complete nerd who was more concerned about scoring good marks in her medical studies than in boys her age.

The budding dialogue writer

She wrote her own dialogues in Queen. When she started getting into the character, she had a certain way of delivering lines with a certain accent. Her role is someone who doesn't open up and is not confident at all.

8. Doesn't watch films

The Queen babe finds movies tiring and has watched only 10 films. She doesn't like watching television either. She would rather read books and listen to music for hours.
