Controversies ā€¢ During her initial days in Bollywood, she was in a relationship with Aditya Pancholi
, who was around 20 years older than her and already married. However, things got complicated when she accused Aditya of violence and broke up with him.

ā€¢ After her break up with Adhyayan Suman
, he said, "I was emotionally badgered because of my relationship. Kangna only knows how to use, abuse and throw. She has flooded me with abusive calls ever since the truth about her fake claims came out. I have remained silent on her abusive nature for so many years, but she is crossing all limits now. Since I havenā€™t been taking her calls, her aides have been calling my mother and harassing her."

ā€¢ She is known for her bold statements, but she made a blunder during a chat show by saying that, "Just good friends could be friendship plus f**k buddies. Just friends in Bollywood mean f**k buddies who are little promoted."

ā€¢ During the 2012 Blender Pride Fashion Week, in Mumbai, she suffered a wardrobe malfunction while walking the ramp for designer Gavin Miguel.

ā€¢ She and Hrithik Roshan
had a media-led fight which started off with her calling him as a "silly ex", and later resulted in full-blown name-calling, e-mail leaking, legal battle.

is maligned in the film, then makers will have to "face consequences." To which Kangana strongly replied, "Four historians have certified 'Manikarnika', we have got censor certificate as well, Karni Sena has been conveyed this but they are continuing to harass me. If they don't stop then they should know I am also a Rajput and I will destroy each one of them."

ā€¢ Kangana Ranaut and Sanjay Raut
of the Shiv Sena locked in a bitter war of words since Kangana termed Mumbai unsafe after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput
. Earlier, her comment that she feared living in Mumbai had led to a severe backlash from the Shiv Sena, and the state's home minister Anil Deshmukh said she had no right to stay in Mumbai.
