The actress had earlier too mentioned about being the 'first superhuman girl on the Indian screen' and said that "I played the first superhuman girl on Indian screen, thanks to my body a rare combination of dainty yet strong-looking, in my 30s I had to gain 20 kgs for Thalaivi and do Bharatnatyam, it left my back severely damaged but no bigger gratification than to play a role to perfection.
"Kangana's jaw-dropping transformation post her 20 kilo weight loss is absolutely one to be remembered. Even as the actress has now come back to her pre-Thalaivi weight, the Dhaakad actress usually put in a lot of hard work, works out religiously and does yoga.
The fact that the actress made it all happen in less than a year's time is truly commendable.
