Come June and Kangana Ranaut will once again take off to New York. “I will continue my course in screenplay writing before I start shooting for the sequel of Tanu Weds Manu,” she says, adding about life in the Big Apple, “I like it there because I get to live like a girl next door. Over here, the baggage of stardom is too much to carry at times.”

 She adds, “I can’t be living like this all my life — wake up, be in front of the mirror for hours, wear makeup and gowns, and go for shoots and parties… I want to live like a normal person; it’s my birthright. I want to wear track pants, go grocery shopping, cook. The best part is, people there don’t recognise Bollywood celebrities. In New York, I can just switch off and be a completely different person. I can have conversations with people on the street, in the subway, and just enjoy my life.”
