Sonakshi Sinha is ready to take on strong female protagonists and surprise her audience with each new role. The actor plays Fareedan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Heeramandi – The Diamond Bazaar. It marks the first collaboration of her with Bhansali, whom she calls the ‘most elaborate’ filmmaker of our times. In this exclusive chat with Hindustan Times, Sonakshi sat down to talk about playing Fareedan in the highly anticipated series, creating that single-shot sequence in the song Tilasmi Bahein, and more. Excerpts
This is a character I have been waiting to do for a very long time. I have always wanted to play a slightly negative, slightly villainous character, and I am really thankful to Sanjay sir that he saw me in this role. I don’t know how or why, but I guess that’s just his trust in me as an actor that I will be able to pull it off. It is really encouraging for an actor when a filmmaker like him imagines you and tries to portray you in a way that nobody has ever seen you before. So I am so grateful. It has been one of my most favourite characters that I have portrayed on screen.
