Actor Kangana Ranaut who never shies away from taking 'Panga' from anyone on Friday said that she has a natural instinct to challenge the authority of powerful people.

"I have never been intimidated by any powerful person and authority. I have a natural instinct to challenge authority and to test them, and it's very natural. Authority asks you for a certain submission, certain surrender. For that, it's very important to test the authority," said Ranaut.

Terming herself as a dominating person, the actor said, "To be honest, I think I am a dominating person by nature, but I am also very devotional."

"So, if I find somebody who is worthy of the position they are taking, I am the first one to surrender. But, I do test them. They may be powerful for others, I find them truly powerless," the actor added.

She made the remarks at an event called 'Think Edu 2020' hosted by the New Indian Express.

On the work front, the actor will next be seen in Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's 'Panga' where she is playing the role of Kabaddi player Jaya Nigam. Besides Ranaut, actors Richa Chadda, Jassi Gill and Neena Gupta will be seen as playing pivotal roles in the film.

'Panga' is set to hit the big screens on January 24, 2020.
