After a lengthy absence of on screen Ranaut was seen as Julia the 1940s actress and stuntwoman in Vishal Bhardwaj’s romantic Rangoon (2017) with Saif Ali Khan as well as Shahid Kapoor. The actress who played her was Fearless Nadia Ranaut performed the role to be an “amalgamation of many characters” in the 1940s and was drawn to Julia’s “fierceness and sensuality” she observed in her. She learned to ride horses and sword fighting , as well as performing her own tricks. There was a rumor in the media that there was a rift among Ranaut and Kapoor however, even though they did not deny it, both stars openly criticized the other. Rangoon received mixed reviews , but Ranaut’s performance was praised to be praised. In the typical critique, Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times called Ranaut for being “terrific”, believing that the “poor script never lets Julia reach her pinnacle but [Ranaut] steals the show even with small scenes”. The film was not able to attract an enthusiastic audience. The same year, Ranaut played the lead role on screen in Simran, a comedy about crime directed by Hansal Mehta, in which she was the role of a Gujarati immigrants in America engaged in criminal activities. She was the screenwriter with Apurva Asrani for inventing a number of dialogs on set, however Asrani was accused by Ranaut and Mehta for not taking into account his contribution on the screenplay. Again, the film was met with mixed reviews and did not do well commercially.

Ranaut is a resident of Mumbai together with sister Rangoli whom she was the subject of an acid attack in the year 2006. She regularly visits her home town of Bhambla. An observant Hindu, Ranaut follows the principles of the spiritual leader Swami Vivekananda and considers meditation as “the highest form of worshipping God”. She is vegetarian and was named “India’s hottest vegetarian” in an opinion poll by PETA in 2013. Since 2009, Ranaut is studying the dance form Kathak, a dance form from Nateshwar Nritya Kala Mandir. Ranaut has mentioned that the method of filmmaking is fascinating for her. To increase her knowledge of the process, Ranaut took a two-month screenplay writing class in the New York Film Academy in 2014. When she spoke to Filmfare she revealed that, despite her fame she would like to live the normal life “I don’t want to lose my rights as a common person to learn and grow”.

Born in Bhambla, a small town in Himachal Pradesh, Ranaut initially aspired to become a doctor at the insistence of her parents. Determined to build her own career path, she relocated to Delhi at age sixteen, where she briefly became a model. After training under the theatre director Arvind Gaur, Ranaut made her feature film debut in the 2006 thriller Gangster, for which she was awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. She received praise for portraying emotionally intense characters in the dramas Woh Lamhe (2006), Life in a… Metro (2007) and Fashion (2008). For the last of these, she won the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actress.

During the struggle, Ranaut found support in the actor Aditya Pancholi and his wife Zarina Wahab and considered them her “family away from home”. She became embroiled in a well publicised scandal when the media speculated on the nature of her relationship with Pancholi. She declined to speak about it openly, although she made several public appearances with him. In 2007 it was reported that Ranaut had filed a police complaint against Pancholi for physically assaulting her under the influence of alcohol. The following year Pancholi confirmed the affair in an interview, saying that he had been cohabiting with Ranaut in the past and accused her of owing him ₹ 2.5 million (US$35,000). In response, Ranaut’s spokesperson said that “after physically assaulting her in the middle of a road, he has no right to expect anything from her”, adding that she had “already given ₹ 5 million (US$70,000) to [him] as a goodwill gesture”. Ranaut later said that the incident had left her “physically and mentally” damaged.

In 2004, directors Ramesh Sharma and Pahlaj Nilani announced that Ranaut would be making her film debut with Deepak Shivdasani directed I Love You Boss. In 2005 the agent brought her to the office of director Mahesh Bhatt, where she had a conversation with director Anurag Basu. She tried out for the main part for the romance thriller Gangster. Bhatt thought she was not old enough for the role, and opted to cast Chitrangada Singh in place. But, Singh was later unavailable to film the movie and Ranaut was cast to play the role of Gangster and opted to leave I Love You Boss. Ranaut was cast in the principal character of Simran the alcoholic woman trapped in a love relationship with an infamous criminal (played by Shiney Ahuja) and a likable friend (played by Emraan Haschmi). Ranaut was just 17 when she began filming, and stated her character “had difficulty first in understanding and then unwinding from the character” she described her acting style to be “raw and immature”. In 2006, Gangster became commercial and critical hit and the performance was well-received. Raja Sen of Rediff.com said that “Kangana is a remarkable find, the actress coming across with great conviction. Hers is the pivotal character and an extremely difficult role to essay, but she manages it well […] Kangana’s nuances [of an alcoholic character] are disconcertingly realistic.” She was awarded her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut, as well as a variety of other awards for debuts.
