The actor, who is being lauded for her trailblazing performances in Manikarnika-The Queen of Jhansi and Panga, mentioned that although she has garnered many accolades for her acting stints, the latest reward recognises her role as a good citizen of the country. She spoke about starting out her career in primitive years, and finally receiving recognition almost a decade into it. She iterated that rather than basking in the glory of her films, her intentions were to shed light on pertinent social issues. Kangana mentioned that her vocal attempts to stand up for the right have given rise to a lot of enemies. She quipped that her enemies are more in comparison to the money she has minted throughout her career.
