Kangna Ranaut has been asked to keep the extra pounds she gained whilst laid up in bed for twelve days with a fractured foot following an accident on the set of Tanu Weds Manu. “Kangna is looking very pretty with the added weight,” says director Aanand Rai, “I had been asking her to put on some weight. I’m quite happy as she looks perfect for the role of the Punjabi girl she plays in my film.”
Meanwhile, Kangna leaps out of the newstands at you on the cover of this month’s Hi Blitz. Dressed in a remarkable Victorian-influenced neo-gothic black dress with collar accessories and regal hat, she explains in the magazine how she feels like she has the experience of a forty-four year old trapped within her twenty-two year old body. “It’s shameful for me to be only 22,” she argues, “I have a mind of 40-50 year-old-woman, which is scary. I can’t connect with people of my own age: for me they are way too young. In a way, I have accepted that I feel way too old.”
Kangna is currently looking forward to the release of the long-delayed Kites. The choreographer of the movie, Soparrkar, thinks she will steal the show. “Kangna will surprise everybody with her performance,” he says, “We have all seen her in these psycho-type roles, but she is a natural dancer. I choreographed two songs with her and Hrithik and she really proved to be a match for him and we all know how good a dancer he is.”
