While growing up, I was quite experimental with my looks. It was not like that I didn t stand out back home in my little village where I grew up," Kangana told IANS. "In fact, my fashion sense was quite outrageous. I remember wearing torn shorts and straw hat and going to market, which sort of scandalised everyone," she added. The 29-year-old is known for films like "Gangster - A Love Story", "Fashion", "Queen", "Tanu Weds Manu" and "Tanu Weds Manu Returns".

"I think that was the phase where a child tries something and everybody sort of doesn t give the right reaction," said the National Award winning actress. After "Rangoon", she will be seen in "Rani Lakshmi Bai" and "Simran".
