She has focused on fitness.

“I played the first super humangirl on Indian screen, thanks to my body a rare combination of dainty yet strong looking, in my 30’s I had to gain 20 kgs for Thalaivi n do Bharatnatyam, it left my back severely damaged but no bigger gratification than to play a role to perfection,” wrote Kangana along with sharing some pictures.

“Journey back to my fit body wasn’t easy, I feel good but even in seven months not able to achieve my earlier stamina and agility back and those last 5 kgs are not budging, there are moments of despair and then my director Vijay sir shows me Thalaivi footage and all seems fine,” said Kangana in a previous post.

Meanwhile, Kangana’s updated look is winning the internet. Netizens are lauding her commitment and dedication. She had recently shot for Thalaivi in Hyderabad where she had wrapped up a crucial schedule.
