Kangana, 25, made her dream debut with Anurag Basu&#39;s &#39;Gangster&#39; in 2006.u00a0&#39;My journey has been great. It is a mix of struggle and appreciation. But it is only now that I can say I am enjoying my work. Initially, there was lot of struggle but now am getting the kind of roles that I want to do. I now have a say,&#39; Kangana told PTI in an interview. <img alt="Kangana Ranaut" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/dec/Kangana-Ranaut_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 750px;" /> The actress, who is currently in the Capital to shoot director Vikas Bahl&#39;s &#39;Queen&#39;, says she never had dearth of roles but her struggle story had more to do with not getting desired roles in films and getting typecast. &#39;Everybody has different kind of struggle. For some it is lack of work but for me it was not getting the right kind of films. After &#39;Gangster&#39; I was being typecast, be it &#39;Life in a... Metro&#39;, &#39;Fashion&#39; or others. &#39;So, I actually had to put my foot down and say &#39;No I am not going to take more of this&#39;. I almost had to stay out of work sometime to change the course of the image I was getting into without wanting it. I always felt that I had much more to give than just doing the same edgy, dramatic roles.&#39; The National-award-winning actress says there was a time when filmmakers did not even consider her for many interesting roles because of her image. &#39;Whenever a director had a crazy, over-the-top character in the film, they would approach me. I was not getting any other role. There were so many interesting films that were being made but they would never consider me. So, I made a conscious decision not to play such characters anymore,&#39; she says. And it worked. Kangana went on to star in films like &#39;Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai&#39; and &#39;Tanu Weds Manu&#39; in which her &#39;quirky-chirpy&#39; act was appreciated by the audience and critics alike. u00a0
