Actress Kangana Ranaut completed 20 years in the entertainment industry on Tuesday.
Commemorating the occasion, Kangana dropped a glimpse of her first portfolio shoot on the Stories section of her Instagram handle.
Kangana revealed that it was these pictures that helped her land her role in her debut movie, "Gangster".
"Today I completed 20 years in the film industry, this is my first portfolio by @jatinkampani that landed me the role of Simran in Gangster," wrote the 'Queen' actress on the photo-sharing app.
Marking 2 decades of "Gangster" release, Kangana also uploaded a picture from her first magazine shoot.
Made under the direction of Anurag Basu, "Gangster" has been jointly produced by Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt of Vishesh Films.
The primary cast of the 2006 romantic thriller includes Kangana, Emraan Hashmi, and Shiney Ahuja in lead roles.
