Kangna Ranaut exploded out of the blocks with her award-winning debut as an alcoholic moll in Gangster (2006), followed by strong performances as a schizophrenic actress in the biopic Woh Lamhe (2006) and as a suicidal mistress in Life In A… Metro (2007). She then bagged a Filmfare Award and a National Film Award for her portrayal of a drug-addicted supermodel in Fashion (2008). Of late, she's been trying to avoid typecasting as a trainwreck. She made a blink-and-miss-it appearance in the Hrithik Roshan-starrer Kites (2010) as the sweet (but slightly unstable) fiance of a con man. She then went on to again essay the roll of gangster girlfriend in Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010), opposite Ajay Devgn, but this time, her character had her emotional act together. Kangna had a slew of releases in 2011, mostly comedies, including Tanu Weds Manu, Double Dhamaal, and Rascals.
