Kangana Ranaut doesn't come from a privileged background and she never had a Godfather in the industry. That's also a major reason why she hates the nepotism prevailing in the industry and targets the likes of Karen Johar for the same. Though her struggling wasn't as intense as it is for the other ambitious lads, she reveals how her conservative family from a humble background couldn't afford a rent of Rs 20,000. They were worried about her decision to enter Bollywood and different horrific tales about girls getting misused only made it worse. Did Kangana Ranaut Just Call Ranbir Kapoor an 'Idiot'?

In her recent interaction with Mid-Day, the actress recalls the time she was offered soft porn by former Censor Board chief, Pahlaj Nihalani. Speaking about the same, she said, "Pahlaj Nihalani had offered me a movie called I Love You Boss. They had a photoshoot where they gave me a robe to wear and no undergarments. So I just had a satin robe for a show-girl pose, from which I had to stick my leg out, coming out of darkness. They should have at least given some tapes. I was supposed to play a young girl lusting after her middle-aged boss. So it was a soft-porn sort of a character." Kangana Ranaut Claims She Rejected Deepika Padukone's Padmaavat!

So did she eventually come on board for it? Fortunately, no. She realised it would be a mistake. Though she shot for the photoshoot, she disappeared later and changed her number. And around the same time, she bagged the lead in Anurag Basu's Gangster and rest as they say is history.
