"I'm specially excited by the fact that I'll be walking the Red Carpet along with the likes of Demi Moore and Richard Gere. For someone who has come from a very small hill station where Hollywood was a distant dream, this is a long way to come."
Kangana is the only Bollywood star besides Shah Rukh Khan to have been invited to the Dubai Film Festival.
Apparently Shah Rukh is yet to confirm his presence at the festival which starts on 10 December.
There's just one problem. Kangana has to attend the Global Indian Film Awards (GIFA) awards just a day before she walks the red carpet at Dubai. "I can't dream of missing the GIFA because I'm getting my life's first award as best debutante. I plan to fly in to collect my award on 9 December and fly out to Dubai the next day."
