As a part of a launch, Kangana Ranaut spoke to the media saying that, she was an unwanted child in the family.

After Rangoli, the first daughter of Kangana's parents, the couple were reluctant to go for a daughter again and wished for a boy. Remembering that situation, Kangana yesterday said that she was an unwanted child.

During the cover launch of a magazine, Kangana said, “There was a sense of discomfort while growing up. The fact that I was not seen as how I wanted myself to be seen as. My parents had a baby boy but he didn’t make it and died within 10 days. He was called Hero and my parents could never come emerge out of that loss.

When Rangoli was born, her birth was celebrated and she was well looked after. But when I was born, my parents and my mother especially couldn’t come to terms with the fact that it was a girl again.”

“I know these details because everytime a guest used to drop in, they used to repeat this story as to how I was the unwanted child in the family. It’s very hard to live in an environment where you are constantly reminded that you just happen to be here and you are not supposed to be here. I could never come to terms with that environment,” Kangana said.

Appreciating her sister Rangoli, for backing her in all the odd times, Kangana said, “She is the one I derive all the strength from. She has been my source of inspiration.”
