In an old video message that the actor’s team had posted during COVID 19 lockdown, the actress said, “Bad times are actually good times. Friends, I was 15 or 16 when I ran away from my house, and I used to feel like I could grab the stars with my hands. After I left my house, I was a film star and a drug addict within 1.5 – 2 years of it.” (Image: Instagram)
“My life was so messed up, I was with certain type of people for whom only death could have saved me. All of this happened in my life only at the time when I was only a teenager,” she added. (Image: Instagram)
Kangana recalled, “At that moment a very good friend came into my life who introduced me to Yoga and gave me a book Rajayoga which have very good processes. After that I took Swami Vivekananda as my guru and under his guidance I groomed myself a lot.” (Image: Instagram)
She continued, “I would have been lost in the crowd if those challenging times didn’t come in my life. Without the spiritual guidance, I wouldn’t have been able to sharpen my intellect or groom my talent or develop my emotional health.” (Image: Instagram)
