National Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut says she
worked towards her "mental health" to overcome the hurdles that she faced while
working in Bollywood.
"Not belonging to a lineage makes the path to
success in my industry automatically harder. I belong to a humble family that
has no connection to Bollywood. My passion and dreams brought me to a junction,
but the tracks ahead had to be laid by me and each step was unfathomably
difficult," Kangana, a Reebok India brand ambassador, said in a statement.
The actress, who has joined hands with Reebok India for #FitToFight campaign
to address inequality in pay, added: "I worked towards my mental fitness and
while the determination and zeal to reach the end had made every other obstacle
look miniscule, I set out to face them. Slowly but steadily, I worked towards
becoming a better version of myself and did not let anything or anyone deter my
path to success."
Talking about pay disparity, the "Queen" star said: "I
have personally experienced inequality on the professional front, on several
occasions, and have fought my way up the ladder to stand shoulder to shoulder
with my male counterparts. I identify very strongly with the campaign."
Kangana is known for openly talking about her struggle in the film industry, as
an outsider and during that phase of her life, how she had an abusive
relationship with actor Aditya Pancholi. She has been in news for her murky
legal battle with actor Hrithik Roshan over their alleged affair.
