In an interview with India Today, Ranaut spoke about the different phases of her film journey. He said his early work put him in a space that became known for disturbing and unsettling characters.“You know, all the movies have had a big impact and pushed me in different directions. Whether it was those very neurotic characters in ‘Gangster’ (2006), ‘Woh Lamhe’ (2006), ‘Life in a…’ Metro’ (2007), ‘Fashion’ (2008), there was this string of neurotic roles, and I was known as the tense, neurotic, hot, sexy, suicidal girl, and all that,” she said.Ranaut said she didn’t want to spend too much time in one image. After these serious roles, he switched to lighter and more relatable parts.“Then I turned that image into a comedy, in the girl-next-door space with ‘Queen’ (2013), ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ (2011), ‘Panga’ (2020) and others,” he said.

The actress said that her girl-next-door image also started to get limited after a point. He then chose roles built around strong leadership figures.“Then came a time when the girl-next-door image was too much, and I took on roles like Rani Lakshmibai, Jayalalithaa and Indira Gandhi, leadership roles,” she said.Ranaut said she is now moving into another creative phase. “And now there’s a phase where I’m portraying a very basic woman, a woman who blends into the background and isn’t seen and no one really notices. So this is the next phase.”He added, “they are all equally important because I wanted to break away from that cage. That has given me a lot of variation in my career.”Ranaut will next be seen in ‘Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata’, which releases on May 12.
