4 Movies In Which Kangana Ranaut Showcased Her Versatility As An Actor

Kangna Amardeep Ranaut is an Indian actor and director, who has won numerous honours to her name, including four National Film Awards and five Filmfare Awards. She has also appeared six times in Forbes India's Celebrity 100 list. There is no doubt that she is a talented actor. Here is a list of movies that perfectly showcased her versatility as an actor.

Fashion (2008)

Director Madhu Bhandarkar's Fashion focused on the shadier aspects of the fashion industry. Shonali Gujral was the supermodel played by Kangana Ranaut. She is portrayed as having a damaged personality who struggles with popularity, success, and the pressures of holding the top position in a competitive sector.

She gives in to the allure of drinks and drugs to ignore her anxieties and quickly develops an addiction. Her downfall in the movie contrasts with that of Meghna, played by Priyanka Chopra, who rises to prominence and becomes a competitor. Meghna later takes Shonali in and makes futile attempts to rehabilitate her. It was a brilliant performance where Kangana had to portray all of Shonali's darkness and gradual decline.
