This time in the battle story, the story is about actress Kangana Sharma. Kangana made her Bollywood debut with the film Great Grand Masti. Apart from this, she has been seen in shows like Kapil Sharma and Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh Piya Ji.
Kangana was struggling to make a place in films when she met a person who ruined everything for her. Kangana says about this – Ever since I was born, I have been struggling alone. Neither professional nor personal life was good. There was always a flood of sadness in my personal life.
Read the story of Kangana Sharma’s struggle, in her own words…
Kangana Sharma was born on 3 April 1989 in Delhi, but she is originally from Haryana.
‘In 2019, I met Yogesh, who I later married. However, even after meeting him several times, I did not want to marry him. There were two reasons for that. The first was that I was the only wage earner in my house, my brother was very young. The second reason was that neither my mother nor my sister’s marriage went very well.
During the first 6 months of our meeting, Yogesh never left me alone. We were together 24 hours a day. I couldn’t even spend time with my family. Sometimes he would take me on a trip abroad, and sometimes to a religious place. Because of this I became very close to him.
They treated me like I was an angel. Besides this, he also respected me a lot. This became the reason why I became more attached to him because I love respect more than love.
The family members also started liking these practices of Yogesh. Along with me, he also took care of his family members. Seeing all this, my mother said that I should marry Yogesh because no one else can do this much for me except him. After all, one has to get married one day, so why not Yogesh. However, along with all this, my mother had definitely said that I should check Yogesh’s family background. But Yogesh did not give time for this.
Actress Kangana Sharma tells us all these things while sitting in Dainik Bhaskar’s office.
He further states, ‘All this was happening when Valentine’s week came. Yogesh said he wanted to propose me in an Indian dress. I was very happy to hear this because in today’s environment what boy talks about proposing in Indian attire. After this she got me a lehenga from the Manish Malhotra showroom and bought herself a sherwani. However, there was definitely a question in my mind as to how things are going so well for me all of a sudden.
After all this, he took me to Bali and proposed to me there in a chopper. Then when I looked down from the chopper, he had written all over the island – Will you Marry me Kangana..
Seeing all this, I also became very happy and said yes to the marriage.
Then when we got down from the chopper, we saw that the wedding hall was also ready. He immediately asked me to marry him, but I refused. I didn’t want to get married without family members. Although he persuaded me a lot. As a result, I had to get married. Neither my family members nor theirs were there. My Kanyadaan was being done by a travel agent’s mother.
After marriage, Kangana shared this picture on her social media account.
When we returned home after marriage, my mother was very angry, but then she agreed. After this, we got married for the second time in front of our family members. I became pregnant just two and a half months after this wedding. This is the time when the Corona epidemic spread throughout the country. I didn’t want to get pregnant in the initial phase of my career, but Yogesh wanted a child. He said that after I give birth to this child, whatever I want to do in the rest of my career, he will support me. This time I also accepted his advice.
During these 9 months of pregnancy, Yogesh kept me away from the family. Whoever comes to the house, they are not allowed to meet me. Because of this I became completely isolated in Mumbai. Even after all this, he did not introduce me to his family. They used to say my mother was very dangerous. She will kill you after knowing about the marriage.
When the time came for the birth, Yogesh left me with my sister. After 9 months I gave birth to a son. When his mother came at the birth of my son, I was surprised to see her. After this gradually Yogesh also stopped meeting me.
After some time I came to know that he was already married, he was divorced. It also came to light that he had many affairs even after his marriage. Hearing all this I broke down completely. I had forgotten to recognize myself. That time was nothing short of depression. Now our divorce case is going on, but Yogesh says he won’t divorce me.
This marriage has taken everything from me. Due to marriage, I had no work between 2020 and 2022. In 2023 I came back with Kapil Sharma. Now in the future I also have to do something better for my child.

Now read what challenges Kangana Sharma overcame to make her way in the film industry…
The shortage was such that someone had to work in other people’s fields.
Regarding her childhood days, Kangana said, ‘I was born in Delhi. When I was 4 years old, the whole family settled in Bara Khurd, a small village in Haryana. There the whole family lived in a small dilapidated house. Although that house was also not ours. That was my uncle’s house, he gave us shelter.
After going there the situation went from bad to worse. In fact, during this time, the father met with an accident. After this, all the responsibilities of the house fell on my shoulders because I was the eldest. After this accident, the father was never able to work. Even mother couldn’t do anything. In such a situation, I had to do everything.
By working in other people’s fields, I managed my household and also paid my school fees. Then when he went to college, he worked as a tutor for children. This would pay for college fees and cover household expenses. I also worked as a receptionist for a few days.
This is why I still say I had a very bad childhood. No one helped us in this bad time.
Worked in Delhi call center to earn a living
Before joining films, Kangana also worked in a call center. Regarding this, he said, ‘After some time, it became difficult to meet the needs of the house and yourself through small jobs. In such a situation, I moved to Delhi in search of better work. Here I used to work in a call centre. Initially I used to get a salary of Rs 5000 per month here. Then after some time my salary became Rs 7000 per month.
At the start of her career, Kangana was seen in Punjabi singer Hardy Sandhu’s song Yaar Na Miliya.
She joined modeling on the advice of a friend
Kangana never had any particular interest in acting. She started modeling at the request of a friend and joined films. About this, he said, ‘In the family I belong to, no one was remotely connected to the film industry. Besides, even thinking about it was a crime. The mentality of the people in the village where I come from was very conservative. Although there has been an improvement by now, the situation is still not that good.
Somehow I reached Delhi from there. There was a friend at the call center where I worked in Delhi, who asked me to model. He said – Your face is very nice, why don’t you try modelling. Anyway, there’s not much money in this job.
That friend further said – I also model myself. I work here at night, then after sleeping for 4-5 hours in the morning, I finish my modeling assignments.
I also got excited after listening to all my friend’s words. I asked him how I could start this. He said that all newcomers start their modeling career from an agency.
On the advice of a friend, I also started my modeling career from the same agency and continued to develop in it.
Without money to move to Mumbai, he got the first film Great Grand Masti
It is only by going to Mumbai that the dream of all the fighters to become an actor is fulfilled. To fulfill this dream, Kangana also moved towards Mumbai’s Mayanagari. About this he said, ‘I had heard different things about Mumbai. Because of this, I decided with a friend of mine that I would stay in Mumbai for a few days first, see the way of life there, and only then decide to move there or not.
With the same friend I came to Mumbai for the first time in 2014. At that time we both did not have enough money to stay in a hotel. In such a situation, we went to stay at a friend’s house. Only a few days had passed while staying there when a fight broke out between the friend and her husband. Seeing this, we also started feeling bad and our friend asked us to leave from there too. Eventually my friend and I returned back to Delhi.
Only a few days had passed when I got a call for the Miss Maxim Contest 2014. I once again went to Mumbai for this. She was the runner-up in this competition and came back to Delhi.
A few days after this victory, I got an offer for the film Great Grand Masti and had to go to Mumbai once again. There I met the film director Indra Kumar ji. He was very impressed with my talk and cast me in this film without any audition. After being cast in this film, I moved to Mumbai.
At the same time, after this film, I was working in Hardy Sandhu’s song Yaar Na Miliya. Then after some time, I also got a job in the TV show Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh Piya Ji.
Between 2019 and 2023, Kangana was seen in 4 episodes of The Kapil Sharma Show.
Many times people from the industry made wrong demands.
Kangana said that people associated with the film industry have made wrong demands many times. He said, ‘In this industry I have come across some good people and also some bad people. Some people were such that as soon as they called, they would directly say that they had been offered a film where you will have some daring scenes. After this their demand dropped to even lower levels. Many times they would go straight to the point of compromise.
I have faced these things more in South cinema than in Bollywood. There, when all work-related matters were completed, it was said that you had to please the director. Because of this, I don’t know how many offers I have turned down.
Kangana said that she had a lot of language problems after entering the industry. He used to face problems due to Haryanvi touch. Also, she was not that skilled in English, but with time she worked on this deficiency and today these things are better than before.
At the end of the conversation, Kangana talked about the upcoming projects. He said, ‘At the moment I don’t have any big project. Right now I’m busy creating my identity again. I hope I get a better job soon.
