Kangna Ranaut rues the fact that artists are not valued and stardom often overshadows acting. "I must admit that artists are not valued in this country and it's not just actors, it also includes painters, dancers, classical singers. They are not even paid well," Ranaut said. "I started my career with theatre and my guru kept telling me, ‘If you want to live in poverty, pursue theatre, and if you want to have a happy life, try something else.'" The actress started her acting career at the age of 17 with Mahesh Bhatt's 2006 film Gangster and in the matter of just six years has come a long way with films like Life in a... Metro, Fashion and Tanu Weds Manu. She won a National Award for her role in Fashion. "In Bollywood, we have this funny concept of stars and actors. Sometimes your stardom really overpowers your acting abilities. It is very unfortunate, but that's the way it is." From:Gulfnews
