People are waiting for me to fail: Kangana

Mumbai: Kangana Ranaut has battled her way facing sexism, harassment and heartbreaks to emerge as one of the most powerful contemporary leading stars and the actor believes there are people waiting for her to fail.

Kangana established herself by playing characters dealing with emotional turmoil in her earlier films like Gangster, Woh Lamhe and Fashion, before gaining stardom with Queen and subsequently headlining powerful women oriented movies.

Though she delivered hits and cemented her position, Kangana's crashing of recent projects Simran and Rangoon were more talked about. "I do feel there are people waiting for me to fail," Kangana said.

"That there are people who are waiting to to prove to themselves that she's not a real deal, to make themselves feel better. My failure is important to them."

The 31-year-old actor, known to speak her mind, said while a certain section will look at her in a particular light but her world view is extremely positive and she wouldn't change that.

"Even though I can realise or feel, I can never be like them or feel through them. I understand their cynicism but I can never be them. Personally, I've never waited for anyone to fail. That's why I think I could do what I did in my life.

"That inherent positivity that I have in me. I praise everyone regardless of who they are or what they think of me is actually something I live by. I'm not a double faced person."
