In order to increase their fanbase and brand value, it is common for Bollywood actresses to feature in peppy and catchy item numbers every now and then. However, despite being a mainstream actress and spending considerable time in the industry, Kangana Ranaut has never performed an item song and in a recent media interaction, she revealed the reason behind it.

Kangana told India.com, "Dekhiye mene apni zindgi me ek jagah par aake stand lia. I worked hard for 10 years, aisa nahi hai ki mujhe ye cheeze bother nahi karti thi. Mene kabhi item number nahi kiye. Mene Kabhi fairness creams nahi ki. Mene koi bhi aisi cheez nahi ki uss daruan jisse aaj mujhe compromise karna pde."

The actress added, "Aap kabhi bhi jaake peeche dekh nahi skte koi controversial cheez. Lekin men vo 10 saal tak kuch nahi kaha na. Kyuki mene apni energies ko divert nahi kia. Ek mukaam par aane ke baad hi mene ye cheezo ko bolna shuru kia. So definitely, I am no role model to follow. Me vahi karti hu jo mujhe suit karta hai."

Kangana was last seen in the recently released action thriller 'Dhaakad' and her upcoming projects include 'Tejas', 'Sita: The Incarnation' and 'Emergency'.
