/> If there are any doubts about Kangana's growing clout in the entertainment market, her latest triumph should put all questions to rest.

Kangana has been chosen by a leading international shoes company Red Tape to endorse their brand of footwear. So far the brand was endorsed by Salman Khan.

Says Kangana, "Until now they manufactured footwear only for men. And Salman was their ambassador. The company is launching its female lineup with me. And that's quite an honour, considering it's my first endorsement."

What made them choose her? "It was my my casual looks, I guess. The brand isn't associated with formal shoes. Only sporty footwear, sneakers etc. They want me to endorse their shoes in my jeans and with my curly hair.

Very youth-oriented. And the fact that they expect my career to grow with their new female lineup of shoes makes the endorsement a bigger responsibility for me."

She recently shot spots for hoardings and magazines and will soon be doing a tv ad with Salman Khan for the brand.

Apparently Red Tape has paid Kangana a whopping figure and has promised to enhance the amount by thirty percent in the next financial year. " The shoes and my career are supposed to journey together.

It's a good thought. I'm excited about the ad with Salman. I've always been his fan. I think he's the only rock star in our cinema.

I had watched him dance at an awards function and thought I'd be paired with him one day. It's happening sooner than I thought."
