The last few
months have been tumultuous for Kangana Ranaut,
but she sure knows how to move on and move up in life. Sometimes by literally climbing
mountains. On her recent getaway, the actress lived it up like a Queen,
albeit solo. And she proudly claims, "I love my own company." Talking
about her trip, in the faraway exotic locales of Germany,
where apparently the Obamas vacationed, too, she says, "The staff there
knew who I was, and they were very attentive." "They offered their
services, but I preferred public transport, so I would walk 10 km to the bus
station and train station and take off on my own. They were surprised, but they
just let me be," she adds.
Now that she's
back in Mumbai, prepping for her role in 'Simran', what she misses the most is
hiking and going for long walks. She says, "Yes, I am a mountain girl, so
I love going back to nature and into the wild. For me, hiking is more
therapeutic than meditation. On my trip, I would hike for seven to eight hours.
Then, take a break at lakeside cafes or even take a quick nap. I ride horses
really well, so I found a village that had a huge stable. Of course, the
European horses are much bigger, so on the first day, I fell off the
horse." Ask her if she feels lonely on a solo long trip, she quickly
answers, "Having people around can be a lot of fun, but from time to time,
you should be on your own. There are things you need to address to yourself,
which you can't do in a crowd. It is like having a one-on-one conversation with
yourself to know what you are seeking and what you are missing in life. If I
don't do it, I feel conflicted. Sometimes, I would sit in a cafe and read a
book for hours. People can be flawed, but a great story, and a great author is
like a magician. Travelling makes me feel grateful about my existence."
