Kangana Ranaut won her third National award and a day prior to the win she gave an explosive interview to India Today. She was asked as to why she never needed a Khan to be successful, and her reply is something you just can't miss.


She said, "In the beginning, I wanted a very easy and conventional route to follow where i can work with big heroes and be a big heroine. That happens in Bollywood. If you work with a superstar, you become a superstar, even if you are a newcomer. That didn’t happen with me. It just didn’t. Now I get lot of offers to act with the Khans. I remember when I was struggling to get my father’s support to help me financially, he was clear it’s my way or highway. If you don’t want to go to school, I have no money for you. Now I am successful, I already have money and he is giving me money. It’s the same thing with the Khans. When I wanted work, nobody was ready to work with me and now that I am my own hero on the sets, why should I work with other hero. Rangoon has three heroes, Saif, Kangana and Shahid.”
