‘I Would Never Rely On Anybody…’: Kangana Ranaut Reacts To Anne Hathaway’s Take On Financial Independence

Kangana Ranaut, the actress and member of India's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), appears to agree with the sentiments expressed by actress Anne Hathaway regarding financial independence. The actress recently shared a quote from Hathaway on her Instagram Story, which reads, "I made a decision when I was a little girl that I would never rely on anybody to pay a bill for me.

And, I have lived by it." This quote underscores the significance of being financially self-reliant and not depending on others for monetary support. Kangana captioned her post with "Who all said this to their 15 years old self? Raise your hands," implying that she too had made a similar commitment to financial self-sufficiency at a young age.

In a 2013 interview with Hindustan Times, Kangana Ranaut recounted leaving her home as a teenager and moving to Delhi, where she took on modelling assignments and theatre work to support herself. She even mentioned surviving on bread and pickle during her early career struggles. Kangana eventually moved to Mumbai after being invited for an audition for the film "Gangster."

She recalled that she was 15 when she left home and began living independently in Delhi, beginning her modeling career and joining Arvind Gaur's Asmita theatre group. However, a 2016 report from India Today quoted Kangana as stating she was only 17 when she started working, which suggests that the different ages mentioned in her interviews refer to various stages in her early career and financial independence journey.
