Kangana Ranaut wraps ‘Emergency’, reveals she mortgaged ‘every single thing’ she owns for the film

Actor Kangana Ranaut has wrapped up the shoot of her next film ‘Emergency’. The period drama is her first movie as solo director, in which she plays former prime minister Indira Gandhi during the 1970s.

Taking to Instagram, Kangana shared a few behind-the-scenes pictures from the sets of ‘Emergency’, and wrote, ‘As I wrap Emergency as an actor today…. a tremendously glorious phase of my life comes to its full completion… It may seem I sailed through it comfortably but the truth is far from it…’

‘From mortgaging all my properties, every single thing that I owned, to being diagnosed with dengue during the first schedule and having to film it inspite of alarmingly low blood cell counts, my character as an individual has been severely tested …. I have been very open about my feelings on SM (social media) but I didn’t share all this, honestly because i didn’t want people who cared to worry unnecessarily and those who desperately want to see me fall and were doing everything to make me suffer, i didn’t want to give them the pleasure of my pain …. At the same time I want to share with you all that if you believe just working hard for your dreams or for what you want is enough, think again because that’s not true…,’ she added.

She concluded her post saying, ‘You must work hard that’s given even if you are worthy you will be tested beyond your limits and you mustn’t break …Hold on to yourself till you can … you are fortunate if life spares you but you are blessed if it doesn’t…… if you break and shatter in pieces … celebrate…Because it’s time for you to reborn …It’s a rebirth for me and I feel alive like never before…Thanks to my tremendously talented team for making it happen for me …P.S all those who care about me please know that I am in a safe place now … I would have not shared all this if I wasn’t …please don’t worry, I only need your blessings and love.’

‘Emergency’ also stars Shreyas Talpade, Vishak Nair, Mahima Chaudhry and Milind Soman. It is scheduled to release later this year.
