(PHOTOS) Who is Kangana Sharma? Meet actress grabbing headlines, also favourite of paparazzi

Kangana Sharma, well-known for her Great Grand Masti and The Kapil Sharma Show roles, recently looked stunning in black in Mumbai. She was born in 1989 and currently has 2.9 million Instagram followers.

Kangana has made headlines not only for her job but also for her daring dress choices. Her recent outings in Mumbai have prompted internet conversations, with many commenting on her provocative dresses.

On Wednesday, she drew everyone's attention when she appeared in a beautiful black attire. Unfazed by the attention, she talked boldly with the paparazzi. A video of the incident rapidly went viral, prompting conflicting reactions from fans and detractors alike.

Kangana began her Bollywood career with Great Grand Masti and then found television popularity with series like The Kapil Sharma Show and Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh, Piyaji. According to sources, after suffering a personal setback, Kangana took a hiatus to reconsider her profession. She later changed herself and rose to prominence on social media due to her outgoing and confident personality.

Kangana, born in Mumbai in 1989, has lately starred in the music album Tere Jism 2 and the hit TV drama Tu Sooraj Main Saanjh. With over 2.8 million Instagram followers, she routinely posts updates and breathtaking photographs on her page.

Kangana experienced personal hardships while she struggled to establish herself in the film industry. In an interview, as reported by DNA, Kangana remarked, "In 2019, I met Yogesh, whom I eventually married. However, despite meeting him multiple times, I did not want to marry him. There were two causes behind this. The first was that I was the sole earner in my household, and my brother was extremely little. The second reason was that neither my mother nor my sister's marriage went smoothly.

Her early career included cinema and television roles, demonstrating her flexibility. However, a personal tragedy forced Kangana to rethink her profession and redefine herself. Her brazen online presence made her a viral internet star after this makeover.
