Kangana Ranaut and sister and manager Rangoli Chandel have faced the vagaries of Bollywood, as well as the acid attack that left Rangoli with deep emotional scars, as one. As they talk to Sandipan Dalal about growing old together, among other things, their great affection and loyalty is only too clear.
Sisters are said to have an unexplainable bond. Superstar Kangana Ranaut and her sister (also her business manager) Rangoli Chandel are no different. Talking about their childhood, they recall how their age-gap separated them from sharing the same interests. When they discuss their journey through life, their ambitions and bond also seem to
grow. And finally, talking about the despicable acid attack on Rangoli makes them both sombre. They shake their heads at the memories of their first years working together, and laugh about how they’ve pushed and tempered each other’s characters. And we go along for the ride, seeing them smile proudly at each other over a partnership that can only grow stronger, better and happier. Excerpts from the interview follow:
Tell us about growing up in Bhambla, Himachal Pradesh.
Kangana: Rangoli is older than me by four years, and it isn’t much but it felt like a huge difference growing up. We were poles apart and not particularly fond of each other. While I was in secondary school, she was already using nail polish, lipstick and sanitary pads. To me, she was this cool person who was getting to enjoy so much. I was quite the annoying sister to have.
Rangoli: Not annoying (laughs). She was very sensitive and passionate. And I was the most lame and disinterested kid.
K: I was studious but I always invited trouble. I had fights with my classmates in school (Hill View Public School), and my classmates’ older sisters would in turn beat me up. I used to go crying to Rangoli but she washed her hands off it as if she didn’t know me.
