She further said, “After almost a decade long struggle I was told I am too good an actor to be a Bollywood leading lady, curly hair and a vulnerable voice made it worse. I signed Queen thinking this will never release, signed it for money. With that money I went to film school in New York”

The actress continued, “In New York I studied screenwriting, directed a small film in California at the age of 24 which gave me a breakthrough in Hollywood, after seeing my work, a big agency hired me as a director, I buried all my acting ambitions, did not have the courage to return to India”

“Bought a small house in the outskirts of LA in Calabasas, just when I left everything, ‘Queen’ released, changed my life and Indian Cinema forever marked the Birth of a new leading lady and woman centric parallel cinema #7yearsofqueen.”

‘Queen’ was released in March 2014 and collected over 200 crore at the box office. Kangana also won her National Award for Best Actress in 2014 for her performance in Queen.
