Kangana Ranaut’s birthday blog: Childhood, adolescence and being a woman
Kangana Ranaut’s straightforward write-up has caught quite a bit of attention on the internet.
Bollywood ‘Queen’ Kangana Ranaut celebrated her birthday on March 23. The actress, who turned 28, this year marked the day with an interesting and somewhat unvarnished entry on her blog, where she shared her experience growing up, overcoming puberty and the incredible transition from a young girl to a woman.
Known to call out things, as she sees them, Kangana’s straightforward write-up has caught quite a bit of attention on the internet. The actress has boldly written and chose to go where most Bollywood celebrities would refrain from doing so.
Talking about the physical changes in her body, she writes, “At 16 she was just a girl who was trapped in a stranger’s body, more often than not that body seemed possessed by alien forces like menstrual blood, cramps, stretch marks, acne, shameful desires and regretful deeds. Neither did she want that body nor that person.”
She further opens up about her confused teenage years stretching into her early adulthood. “At 19 the seed was bursting and an artist was trying to sprout from it, did it make it? Did it not? That seed might have not made it and many others after that didn’t either but one seed eventually did, the price and the pain both were unbearable.”
At 23 when she looked into the mirror she was faced with a bundle of contradictions, she contradicted herself but she didn’t lie not even to herself. Her honesty was endearing and for the first time I liked her.”
And finally, the woman that she has blossomed into today and the acceptance of aging.
“At 27 I ‘d fallen madly and deeply in love with the mountain woman who speaks with clouds and butterflies. I can’t wait to grow old and meet her when her eyes will sparkle with wisdom and her voice will quiver with kindness and here another thought hits me, how much more time do I have with her?
Time is slipping from my hands just like sand does and I know one lifetime won’t be enough for us.
Can I close my eyes and breath this beautiful spring day in and let it flow through my blood and make it a part of me? Can I stay in this moment for a little longer before 27 deserts me like a lost love affair and before 28 conquers me like a conquest.”
