Love her, Hate her but you definitely cannot ignore her. Yes, we are talking about the eccentric Kangana Ranaut who continues to make headlines for the several movies in her kitty. The actor is currently extremely busy with her movie Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi which will see her play the role of Rani Laxmibai. The Queen star is simultaneously prepping up for Panga, her nex with Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari wherein Ranaut will play a Kabaddi player. She also has Mental Hai Kya, Imli in the pipeline.

With such an impressive lineup, when Kangana was recently asked how her family has contributed to her success story, she told Mumbai Mirror, "My family is very emotional and has always been very protective of me, maybe even a little controlling in some ways. When I was hit by professional lows, the emptiness (I felt) only grew till my sister, Rangoli, came along and bridged the gap. I was back with my family when I was around 23-24. Now, they are a little more open to what I want to do while I am more sensitive to their needs. We are in a happy space with my sister’s son, Prithviraj, arriving and my brother Akshat getting his pilot licence."

But just like any millennium does her mother push her to get married and have babies too? To this, Kangana added, "Of course, she does, more so now that I am 31, but the family understands that I need a life partner who will be my match in every way so doesn’t push me into making a commitment. Whenever I’ve been in a relationship, even my mind skittles in that direction. But men and women want different things from a relationship. Men are driven by their primal instincts while women are not."

"They want more than physical gratification and are judged for that by being called ‘clingy’ and ‘needy’. Right now, I am single and not seeing anyone so there’s no maternal instinct and urge to extend my family, I’m happy with the one I have. If God wants me to have more, it will happen when the time is right," she added.

Well, that's clear for now!
