Kangana Ranaut, known for her bold opinions and strong screen presence, often finds herself in the spotlight. While recently her film Emergency grabbed attention for missing its release date, the actress has now taken to social media to share a personal story. In a heartfelt post, Kangana revealed her thoughts about her younger self by sharing a throwback video from 18 years ago. This video, from her early days in Bollywood, has given fans a glimpse into her journey of self-acceptance.
Kangana Reflects on Her Younger Self in a Throwback Video
Kangana Ranaut shared a video from the music launch of her second film Woh Lamhe, which was released in 2006. At that time, Kangana was just 20 years old, a young girl who had recently entered the film industry. She stood out with her curly hair and striking features, but she confessed that she didn’t feel confident in her skin back then. In her post, Kangana wrote about how she, like many young women, didn’t see herself as beautiful at the time.
“I Didn’t Appreciate My Looks Back Then” – Kangana’s Honest Confession
In her candid post, Kangana opened up about how uncomfortable she felt with her appearance when she was younger. She wrote, “This is a video from the music launch of my film Woh Lamhe. I was just a teenager. Like every young girl, I hated my appearance. No girl at that age feels confident or beautiful.” She admitted that even though she may have looked beautiful to others, she didn’t feel that way herself at the time.
Kangana Now Wishes to Have That Youthful Energy Again
The actress went on to say that today, at 38 years old, she would give anything to have the same vitality and energy she had at 20. Kangana shared that it’s not just about looks, but also the natural energy and liveliness that comes with youth, something she didn’t appreciate when she had it. She wrote, “Today I can give anything to look like that, not just for the looks but for the agility, energy, and liveliness which I didn’t realize then.”
A Powerful Message to Women: “Every Age is Beautiful”
At the end of her post, Kangana shared an empowering message for all women. She urged women to be kinder to themselves and to appreciate their beauty at every age. “Every phase of life is beautiful. Learn to love yourself and be kind. Even if you don’t feel beautiful now, you will realize your beauty when you look back,” Kangana advised, encouraging women to embrace their present selves with love and positivity.
