Early Life & Education

Kangana Ranaut was born on March 23, 1987, in Bhambla, a small town in Mandi district, Himachal Pradesh, India. She belongs to the Rajput community and was born into a Hindu family.

Her father, Amardeep Ranaut, is a businessman dealing in agricultural produce, while her mother, Asha Ranaut, is a teacher. Kangana has an elder sister, Rangoli Chandel, who was her manager for some time and is also known for her activism, and a younger brother named Aksht Ranaut.

Kangana completed her early education at the DAV School in Chandigarh. From a young age, she was passionate about acting and modelling, which led her to move to Delhi to pursue a career in the arts.

She enrolled in the Elite Modelling Agency in Delhi but completed no formal education in acting or film. Her initial foray into acting was more self-taught and through practical experience.

Career

Kangana Ranaut began her Bollywood journey with her debut in Gangster (2006), earning the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut for portraying a troubled woman in love with a gangster.

Her performance set the stage for her career-long preference for challenging and unconventional roles. In 2008, her role as Shonali Gujral in Fashion brought her critical acclaim, winning her the National Film Award and Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress.

Kangana‘s versatility and commercial appeal shone in Tanu Weds Manu (2011), but her performance in Queen (2013) marked a turning point, earning her the National Film Award for Best Actress. She followed this with another celebrated performance in Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015), playing a dual role, which brought her a second National Film Award for Best Actress.

In 2017, she led the film Simran, and in 2019, she took on both acting and directing duties in Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, which became a box-office success despite controversies. Her role in Panga (2020) further showcased her ability to bring strong, independent women to life on screen.

Beyond acting, Kangana is known for her outspoken views on social and political issues, often sparking controversies but reinforcing her image as a fearless non-conformist. Her bold fashion choices and candid interviews have made her a media favourite. She ventured into production with her company, Manikarnika Films, and in 2024, entered politics, winning a Lok Sabha seat from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh.

Kangana has received numerous accolades throughout her career, including four National Film Awards and five Filmfare Awards. Her dedication to challenging gender norms and choosing roles with depth has left a lasting impact on Bollywood.

Personal Life

Kangana Ranaut is currently unmarried and has no children, preferring to focus on her career and personal growth over settling down. Her height is approximately 5 feet 4 inches (165 cm), and her body measurements are reported as 34-26-34 inches (bust-waist-hips), though these can vary.

Kangana has had several high-profile relationships, some of which are confirmed while others are more speculative. She dated Aditya Pancholi from 2004 to 2008, a relationship that was controversial due to the age difference and Pancholi‘s marital status at the time; it ended with allegations of abuse.

She was in a relationship with Adhyayan Suman from 2008 to 2009, which became public after their breakup. In 2009, there were brief mentions of her dating director Kunal Deshmukh, and she was rumoured to be with Japanese musician Kintaro Mori from 2009 to 2010.

In 2010, she was linked with Dino Morea and Ajay Devgn, though these connections were never officially confirmed. Kangana was in a long-distance relationship with Nicholas Lafferty, a British doctor, from 2010 to 2012. She described this relationship as one of her most normal, but it ended amicably. Her relationship with Hrithik Roshan from 2013 to 2014 was one of her most discussed, ending in a legal dispute over cyberstalking claims.

Net Worth

Kangana Ranaut‘s net worth is estimated to be around Rs 91 crore, which translates to approximately $11 million (USD), based on recent exchange rates. This wealth is accrued from her flourishing career in Bollywood, notably through films like “Queen,” “Tanu Weds Manu Returns,” and “Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi.”

Beyond acting, she earns substantially from brand endorsements, reportedly charging between Rs 3 to 3.5 crore per advertisement, roughly $360,000 to $420,000 (USD). She has also expanded into film production with Manikarnika Films, which has contributed to her income.

Her assets include luxury vehicles, real estate in Mumbai and Manali, and significant investments in gold, silver, and diamond jewelry. Moreover, Kangana holds multiple LIC policies, indicating a diverse investment approach, though she does not have known investments in stocks or mutual funds.



Her recent entry into politics, winning a Lok Sabha seat from Mandi in 2024, could further impact her financial status, but her primary wealth has been built through her achievements in the entertainment industry.
