Kangana Ranaut thinks every phase of her life has been a stepping stone for her. The actor, who never shies away from divulging details about her journey to stardom, believes though all her battles haven’t been easy, they have only made her stronger.

Ahead of the release of her latest film Judgementall Hai Kya, Kangana sat down for an exclusive chat with indianexpress.com. The actor, who keeps hogging limelight for her unabashed statements, was asked whether all the challenges she has faced in the past few years ever takes a toll on her.

She said, “For me, I think every battle that I have fought has been quite time consuming and draining. It has not been an easy ride. But I never thought what I will gain or what I will lose. So, I think that spirit is very important where you are ready to sort of put your personal interests aside.” From her tiff with Hrithik Roshan and calling Karan Johar the “movie mafia” and introducing many to the term “nepotism”, Kangana has courted several controversies. And all this, while she emerged as the highest paid female actor in Bollywood.
