“I am a bit embarrassed to be thrilled to have a battle scar on my face. Also, people from my team have been telling me that it's like that Peshwa teeka that Manikarnika wore. It's a bit dramatic but I am excited that my face was covered in blood and I got a genuine and authentic glimpse of the Queen's life," Kangana Ranaut, 30, said in a statement. Kangana is expected to be discharged from the hospital next week. The film Manikarnika, directed by Krish is probably the last film that Kangana would star in as an actor. She had earlier said that she is ready for the director’s chair, and she might even act in her own directorial, but not for other directors.
