When Kangana Ranaut was looked upon as a 'gold digger'

Bollywood's Queen Kangana Ranaut recently made quite a revelation. Recalling her initial days in the industry, she said that people thought her to be a 'gold-digger'.

Mumbai: Actor Kangana Ranaut revealed that the industry insiders judged her from an outer perspective and thought to themselves that she is a small town "gold digger."

She shared that material things never held any importance to her until people's perception about her changed the way of her life. The Manikarnika actor admitted that she now wants to be one of the richest people in India by the time she turns 50.

In a recent conversation with a news portal, Kangana said: "To be honest, I never thought I'd come this far. I never had these as my primary ambitions. I didn't have material ambitions. But it started off when I saw that women are hugely judged for not going after material ambitions. Men are running this race. The women feel vulnerable at that point. Being a woman, I don't think about money. But am I looked like that from an outer perspective? That I'm a gold digger from a small town?"

She further added: "This is something that has been so obnoxiously told to me which changed the course of my life forever. Then, it became about material things. Then, I thought that maybe, I will have a fair chance in the society if I have that. So now, I have another goal, to be one of the richest people in India by the age of 50."

On the work front, Kangana will next be seen in Thalaivi, a biopic on Tamil Nadu's former Chief Minister J. Jayalalitha. Besides Hindi, the film will release in Tamil and Telugu.
