I was the unwanted child in my family, says Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut may be on a golden run on the professional front -- however, her personal life, she says, was never easy as she was the "unwanted child" in her family.

The actress made this bold confession at the launch of a new cover of Femina magazine, that features her along with her sister Rangoli, an acid attack survivor.

"My parents had a child before Rangoli, who died within 10 days of his birth. He was called Hero. My parents couldn't emerge from the loss of that baby boy. But then Rangoli happened and she was taken care of, there was a huge celebration.

"But when I was born, my parents, my mother especially, couldn't come to terms with that fact that they had another baby girl," the actress, who has portrayed women-centric characters in films like "Queen" and "Tanu Weds Manu Returns", said here.

"I know these stories in detail because every time a guest visited, or there was a gathering, they repeated this story in front of me that how I was the unwanted child," she added.

Kangana further confessed: "It's very hard to live in an environment where you're reminded and constantly told that your existence just happens to be there... That you are not meant to be here."
