Actress Kangana Ranaut has proved her mettle in the Bollywood industry by bagging two national film awards for Fashion and Queen. As she completed 14 years in the tinsel town on Tuesday, Kangana recalls the day when she had no idea about how to visit Singapore where she got her first Filmfare Award for best debut in Gangster.
In a press statement, Kangana revealed why her friend picked up the prestigious award. She said, “I had no idea that I was nominated. When the team was leaving for the event, they asked me about my travel plans. I had no idea how to go to Singapore, where to stay, and I was too embarrassed to even ask my crew about ticket prices. So I missed that opportunity. When I won, Bobby Singh, DOP of Gangster and Queen, who is sadly no more, called and said he is getting my trophy. I was thrilled and it’s one of my fondest memories.”
