Kangana Opens Up About Her Struggles: “I Survived on Onions and Chutney”

Actress and model Kangana Sharma has never shied away from speaking her truth—and in a recent candid interview, she opened up about the financial hardships and emotional turmoil that shaped her early life and career. “I’ve seen times when there was no ataa in the house,” she recalled. “I had to ask neighbors so we could eat. There were months when I didn’t see vegetables—I survived only on onions, chilies, and chutney.” Her words paint a stark picture of resilience and survival, far from the glitz often associated with the entertainment world.

 

Kangana emphasized that such lived experiences have given her a deep understanding of money’s value. “When people make some money and start saying, ‘Oh, money isn’t everything’—they should ask me. Money is everything. The person who has lived without it, that person knows what it truly means,” she added. Her story resonates with many who come from humble beginnings and rise through sheer grit and tenacity.

 

Her career trajectory reflects just that. Starting as a Miss Maxim finalist in 2014, Kangana gained early visibility that helped launch her into entertainment. She made her Bollywood debut in 2016 with the comedy film Great Grand Masti, and a year later, captured hearts on television with her role as Meera Mittal in Star Plus’s Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh, Piyaji. She didn’t stop there—Kangana became a music video favorite, appearing in viral hits like Hardy Sandhu’s "Yaar Ni Milya" and the Tere Jism series, amassing millions of views.

 

Today, Kangana continues to evolve—having survived a failed marriage and various industry setbacks, she’s adapted to the digital era, stepping into OTT projects and broadening her creative reach. From hunger and heartbreak to headlines and high fashion, Kangana’s journey is a striking example of what it means to fight, fall, and rise again—and never forget where you came from.
