Pure love still exists: Kangana Ranaut

Busy with promotions for her latest romance film 'Rangoon' opposite Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor, fiesty actress Kangana Ranaut has a simple notion for love - shoot straight from the heart. In an interview, when asked what her definition of love is, she said, "Love is hard to believe. It's not like you can't do it, but you won't be able to do justice to the feeling. The most amazing and purest form of love is a mother's, which we experience from the moment we are born. Our first encounter in life is with love. My idea of love is not very different from that. The purpose can change, the nature of it changes, but the essence remains the same."

She added, "When I was younger, it meant a lot more. Now, I don't think it holds as much significance; you don't wait for a Valentine to propose to you. In our age group, it unfolds differently." Speaking about her character Julia in the movie, Kangana said, "My character Julia is very relatable and that's the best thing about Vishal Bharadwaj's films. Julia finds it hard to fit in, something that contemporary women will identify with. In reality, I have come from the mountains and if I can speak English, wear make-up or walk in heels today, it's because I have tried hard to fit in."

"Julia is in love with these two men (Khan and Kapoor), but the nature of love is different in both the situations. With Rustom (Saif Ali Khan), it's more parasitic, where they both need each other and feed off each other's insecurities. That can make for a very strong bond and it also makes two people inseparable. One can misunderstand this need for love."
