Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut recently compared her journey to that of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, claiming her struggles have been tougher than his. She made the remarks while speaking at a PHDCCI event in Delhi. While comparing her journey and roots with Shah Rukh, Kangana said, “Why did I get so much success? There is probably nobody else who came from a village and got such success in the mainstream. You talk about Shah Rukh Khan. They are from Delhi, convent-educated. I was from a village that nobody would have even heard of – Bhamla. Maybe others may disagree, but I feel it’s because I am brutally honest, not just with people but with myself too.“ Kangana Ranaut was born and raised in Bhamla, Himachal Pradesh. She moved to Mumbai after leaving home at the age of 15 and made her Bollywood debut at 19 with Gangster. Over the years, she has emerged as one of the industry’s most successful actors and has won four National Film Awards.

He began his acting career in television before moving to Mumbai in 1991, eventually becoming one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema. On the work front, Kangana Ranaut was last seen in the political drama Emergency, which was a box office disaster. The actor is set to mark her Hollywood debut with the horror drama Blessed Be the Evil, set to hit the theatres next year.
