Kangana Ranaut plays a possessed woman in her latest release Raaz-The Mystery Continues

SHE seems to have become synonymous with ‘women living-on-the edge’ portrayals, being the natural choice of filmmakers for such roles. Whether it be playing a poor girl becoming a gangster’s mistress out of longing for a home and family in Anurag Basu’s Gangster, a film star suffering from schizophrenia in Mohit Suri’s Woh Lamhe or a supermodel who goes on the edge in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Fashion, Kangana Ranaut has been associated with roles of women undergoing turmoil due to a broken home, relationship or their longing for love and a family.

The actress, who is back with Raaz-The Mystery Continues, says she always wants to do interesting roles and, more importantly, different from what she has done in her previous films. "Depending on the way one looks at it, one can either say that I like doing serious roles or, alternatively, that I like taking up roles that are interesting. I have always ensured that the character I play in a particular film is in no way similar to the roles played by me in any of my previous films. From a woman from a broken family to schizhophrenic to a working girl in a call centre with a suicidal streak, every role of mine has been different. — UNI
