I was the unwanted child in my family: Kangana

'Queen' Kangana Ranaut has always been open about her humble roots and her past. In a bold confession made at the launch of a new cover of Femina, the actress said her personal life was never easy as she was the “unwanted child” in her family.

“My parents had a child before Rangoli, who died within 10 days of his birth. He was called Hero. My parents couldn't emerge from the loss of that baby boy. But then Rangoli happened and she was taken care of, there was a huge celebration. But when I was born, my parents, my mother especially, couldn't come to terms with that fact that they had another baby girl.” Kangana further said, “I know these stories in detail because every time a guest visited, or there was a gathering, they repeated this story in front of me that how I was the unwanted child. It's very hard to live in an environment where you're reminded and constantly told that your existence just happens to be there... That you are not meant to be.”

The latest cover of Femina shows Ranaut and her acid-attack victim sister Rangoli.
