Actress Kangana Ranaut talks about the time when she was allegedly in a relationship with Hrithik Roshan. The actress shares how her ex lives in a rented house funded by his father whereas she has bought her own home and office.    

In conversation with Pinkvilla, Kangana revealed: “When I look back at my journey, I do feel proud but at the same time, I’d say that when I started off, I didn’t have any material ambitions. It’s only a few years ago when I had a fallout with one of my exes (Hrithik Roshan) and the whole legal case happened, I remember it became a discussion that I’m from a small town, I’m after his money”. 

“It was like that and girls are judged on that basis. I started to think on those lines ever since. Maybe being a woman, I don’t look at money but am I looked at like that from an outside perspective that I’m a gold digger from a small town? It’s something that is so obnoxiously said to you that it can change the course of your life. So then, it became about material things.”

“Today, I can proudly say that my ex lives in a rented house founded by his father and I have bought my house and office space on my own.” 

The ‘Queen’ actress continued: “It gave me a perspective that maybe, I have a fair chance in the society if I’m somebody like that. If he said to his friends, “Oh, she’s only after my money,” I didn’t know how to prove that it wasn’t it. In a relationship, how does one who doesn’t have such possessions, comes from a small town with a humble background, have no chance of love, dignity! That person suddenly doesn’t have a say in this world of nepotistic materialistic people. Then, I thought I’m going to have the best house anyone will have, best office and by the age of 50, I also will be one of the richest people in India. That’s what I’ve just decided.”
