With worst success ratio, she is the leading lady in terms of delivering consistent flops. She has no clean hits since 2015 with back to back 7 flops/averages. Despite doing movies with big directors/producers/actors like Karan Johar, Ajay Devgan, Hrithik Roshan, Mahesh Bhatt, she has been rejected by the audience. By doing the chaploosi of govt, she buys some awards. But couldn't buy a single clean hit since 2015.

People would always remember Kangana Ranaut as the queen of disasters.
