"Don't link me with older men please" says Kangana Ranaut

At 20, Kangana has acquired some unusual reading habits. "I'm currently reading the thoughts of Swami Vivekand. He prescribes restraint for a fruitful life. So I'm off spicy food and off any thoughts of a boyfriend. I believe restraint is much more important in life than self-indulgence."

Not that she has much a chance to be hedonistic right now. Kangana was tricked by her family into visiting her home town Bhambla (Himachal Pradesh). "I was told to immediately come and see my 100-year old great grandfather.

I presumed the worst and immediately left my dubbing for Anurag Basu's Metro to attend to my great-grandfather (my father's grandfather) only to be told that the old man is fine. They just wanted me to visit him."

"He wasn't talking or eating much. Since I was his favourite great grand-daughter my father immediately called me. So here I am, taking an unscheduled holiday much to Anurag Basu's annoyance. Unfortunately my sister isn't allowed to fly because of her health problems. I had to leave her behind in Mumbai with my best friend."

In Metro Kangana is dubbing her own lines. "That's a relief after Shaka Laka Boom Boom. When I heard an alien voice speaking for me I lost all self-confidence. In Metro I speak my own lines…and sport a completely different look."

In Metro Kangana's character has an affair with an older man (K.K Menon). In real life she has no such aspirations. "It's very embarrassing to be linked with men who are much older. Please, when I do have a boyfriend he'd be someone I can look in eye, not look up to."

Kangana is a voracious foodie and one of the reasons she enjoys being at her home is the cuisine. "My mother and aunts are cooking my favourite food. And I feel so pampered.

In Mumbai you're not only alone there's no one to give you a tablet if you're ill. That's why I've persuaded my sister to stay with me in Mumbai. The city can be really cold and hostile to outsiders."

Hot and Sexy Kangana Ranaut

"I don't exchange numbers with co-stars." - Kangana Ranaut

There has been a mystery to Kangana Ranaut. She has not bothered to clarify on most controversies surrounding her. Finally, she lets her guard down in an interview.

Why have you often refrained from speaking to the media? Do you have an attitude problem? There's so much to ask you...
I am a lonely person. I don't exchange numbers. I keep to myself. Attitude comes to a person who has fame and money. I have neither (pauses). Okay, shoot. Today, I will talk.

Many Bollywood heroines are game to the surgeon's knife for silicone boobs. Your take on that?
They are also going in for silicone hips, and not to forget, collagen lips. These girls feel that this is the best way to attract men and become a sex symbol. Little do they realise that it has an adverse effect on health. I have heard men talking about big boobs and big ass. I want to ask men. What matters to them- a nice pair of boobs or a girl with a nice nature? I will never get carried away.

You still seeing Aditya Panscholi?
I was never seeing Aditya Panscholi.

You were staying either in his flat with his family, or in a flat given by him?
No. Since two years, I have been staying in a 1-BHK at Yari Road. Few months back, I purchased a 3-BHK on Turner Road in Bandra. I will be shifting there in a month or two. How can I stay in a married man's house?

Does this mean that you stay alone?
I used to stay alone. But now my younger sister from Dehradun has moved in with me.

Did Aditya become very possessive about you at one point? Those police complaints that you hadfiled against each other...
(Interrupts) It is very difficult to make anybody understand. There are some bonds which one can't be given names and explained. He was a genuine friend.

He promoted you in Bollywood?
There was no way that he could promote me.

You are still in touch with him?
No. It ended. But I am sure that we are there for each other if we need any help.

Shiney gave you acting tips in Woh Lamhe and Gangster, and you got pissed off?
No, Shiney did not give me any acting tips.

There was an uncomfortable silence between you and him on the sets?
I told you that I don't mix up with anybody. I don't have not only Shiney's number but also Emraan, Bobby and Upen's. I am game to doing another film with Shiney. If he has a problem with me, I am not aware of it.

You moved out of Vishesh Films?
I haven't moved out per se. After Woh Lamhe, Bhatts made me listen to two or three scripts. I didn't like those scripts. Hence, I signed up with other production houses.

You turned down Pooja Bhatt's Dhokha?
That time, I was committed to Metro and Shakalaka Boom Boom. She wanted the same dates. How could I do it?

And Mahesh Bhatt's Jannat too?
Jannat 's director Kunal Deshmukh had narrated a different script to me. I had loved that script but he hadn't decided on the hero. What he is making now with Esha Deol is a different script. When he makes the first one, I will definitely work with him.

Suneel Darshan told you to come out from the Bhatt camp?
I am a focused person. I wouldn't follow anybody's advice.

That doesn't answer my question, does it?
Suneel told me that I should be working in bigger projects. He felt that Gangster was not a commercial film.

Shakalaka Boom Boom was a mistake?
I wouldn't put it that way. I tried something different. It didn't click, that's another story. If you ask me, the film failed on many levels. Mainly, it went wrong in screenplay.

Are you doing Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion?
I have signed up with UTV for two films. Madhur is still not ready with the script. But knowing him, I am sure that he'll have a good script. However, I would like to see my role before giving my consent.

A Bollywood actress stalker called Miraj threatened you that you should come for an 'overnight stay' else....?
It wasn't for an 'overnight stay' (laughs). He was threatening my business manager Jai that he will kill him. He said that he has a script and wants me to act in some film.

Your next film?
Samir Karnik's Roshan opposite Bobby Deol.

What you do when you're not shooting?
I go to my dance guruji in Versova. Or I hit the gym, or do meditation and yoga.

Mukesh Bhatt had said that you are a combo of Madhuri and Sridevi?
Every producer has emotions for the newcomer whom he launches. Come on, I know where I stand. I have a long way to go.

I'll never get a boob-job done

Kangana Ranaut who once boasted about her serene nature and flawless skin is now all stressed up. Perhaps hard life in a metro, work pressure and erratic hours are taking toll on this small-town actor's health.

But her hard work has paid her well. After two years of hardship Ranaut has bought her dream home at Turner Road.

“It was way too expensive but I am stubborn and so I decided to buy it. I’m moving in the next two months. The apartment is currently being done up. It’s got three rooms — one for me, one for my sister and one for my parents, whenever they visit,” she tells.

Kangana has been saving to pay the installments, reportedly getting paid Rs 75 lakh per film, and spending next to nothing on other activities.

Incidentally, Rani and Priyanka are also shifting into their dream homes in the next few months. “It’s a race to the finish between us,” says Kangana.

But she keeps this healthy competition on the home front only because when it comes to looks Kangana is pretty satisfied with what she has got.

In a candid interview recently she said that she will never go through a boob-job. Even though most of her fellow stars have had silicone implants she is in no hurry to increase her bust-size. According to her she will put more weight on her acting than on other places.

Says Kangana, "These girls feel this is the best way to attract men and become a sex symbol, but little do they realise that it has an adverse effect on their health. I will never get carried away. I’ve often heard men talk about buxom women but I want to know what matters more: a nice pair of boobs or a girl with a good heart?"
