Bhambla-born Kangana has seen her share of ups and downs.
After spending her growing years in the untouched landscapes of Himachal Pradesh, the Fashion star came to Mumbai with dreams of making it big. Instead she got stuck with projects that never took off and a reported liaison with Aditya Panscholi.
Luckily for Kangana, Anurag Basu's Gangster proved to be the much-needed breakthrough. The gripping drama, as well as her intense performance, won tremendous acclaim, fetching her Best Newcomer trophy at every award function in town.
