This is how measurements for prosthetics are taken, it’s not easy to be an actor, Kangana so calm even in something which is so suffocating for us to even watch ???? pic.twitter.com/APQ9OSP2aT

Kangana was recently in her hometown Manali for her brother's engagement and was seen shaking a leg to a Pahadi song at the ceremony! She has been also looking after the interiors of Rangoli's under-construction house in the city.

Kangana sways to the beautiful tunes of a Pahadi song with her family and relatives at the engagement of her brother, Aksht Ranaut. This breezy dance form called Natti usually involves soft and casual movements. Looks like a dream, isn't it?
