Along with the picture, the actress wrote, "On this day (7th March) in 2014, a film came called #Queen...and it changed my life forever.....I did many iconic roles after that...Datto, Manikarnika, Thalaivii, but little did I know, no matter what I do I will forever be remembered as #Queen..".

Directed by Vikas Bahl, 'Queen' features Kangana in the lead role as Rani Mehra who decides to go alone on her honeymoon from Paris to Amsterdam in Europe after her selfish fiance Vijay Dhingra, portrayed by Rajkummar Rao, cancels their wedding just a day before their D-Day. Along with Kangana and Rajkummar, the film also featured Lisa Haydon in a pivotal supporting role as a free-spirited, independent single mother and was applauded for her performance.

Kangana's amazing act won her National Award for Best Actress and the film itself won the National Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi. 'Queen' was highly acclaimed for its engaging screenplay, witty dialogues, brilliant music by Amit Trivedi, and Kangana's towering act. The film has gained a cult following over the years with people regarding it as one of the best feminist films made in Hindi cinema.READ | Kangana Ranaut on 'Lock Upp': 'I will have the final word and I will choose the winner'
