Kangana Ranaut's b'day: Here's a binge-watching guide
New Delhi, March 23 (IANS) Bollywood 'Queen' Kangana Ranaut has entertained movie buffs with several outstanding performances throughout her career of nearly a decade and a half.##
Her journey from being a girl from a small village in Himachal Pradesh with starry dreams to a National Award-winning Bollywood superstar has been full of twists and turns. Coming from a village near Manali, Kangana entered the tinsel town with no starry connection, and went ahead to make a place for herself in Bollywood.
