Taking to her Instagram stories, Kangana shared two photographs from her childhood days, where she is sporting short hair. The first photo showed her wearing a school uniform and she captioned it “Its uncanny growing up many of my relatives called me Indira Gandhi probably because of my hairstyle #emergency”.

She shared a delightful anecdote from her childhood as well, writing “I didn’t follow anyone’s hairstyle as a kid I went to the village barber on my own and guided him to do haircut that I like, and I always liked it short…this inspired many jokes in the family especially all uncles from army background called me Indira Gandhi … #emergency”.
