Actor-reality TV star Shehnaaz Gill, who currently stars in comedy film "Thank You For Coming", says she aspires to have a versatile filmography.
The actor, a known name in Punjabi movies, shot to fame with her stint on the 13th season of reality show 바카라Bigg Boss바카라 in 2019 and made her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan바카라s 바카라Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan바카라 earlier this year.
The 29-year-old actor said she is often approached with roles which are closer to her real self and she now wants to break the cycle.
"Don바카라t judge a book by its cover, read me carefully. They (makers) are thinking of me in a certain way. I feel they want to show my real-self on screen but I can바카라t be doing only this kind of role. Like, recently I heard a script, in which I바카라m playing a beautiful girl who is an internet sensation.
"This is my reality and I want to break this notion in films. I want to do something different on screen. I would like filmmakers to take risks and present me in a different way. I바카라m willing to do a workshop and all. I believe my talent just gives me a chance to do different things,바카라 Gill told PTI in an interview.
As an actor, she wants to develop her own process for playing a character, which includes preparation and improvisation.
"I believe actors should improvise. When you have the script, you should not learn it by heart, just understand the character, do a workshop and play the part accordingly. I want to work on my craft and analyse the script,바카라 Gill said.
Her latest release 바카라Thank You For Coming바카라 follows the story of Kanika Kapoor (Bhumi Pednekar), a single woman in her 30s, and her quest for true love and pleasure.
The coming-of-age comedy is directed by Karan Boolani from a script penned by Radhika Anand and Prashasti Singh.
The film has a crucial message regarding sex education, according to Gill.
"I believe in narrations. When I heard this script, I liked it and felt, 바카라This is something different, let바카라s do it.' Sex education is very important. This is really very important,바카라 she added.
Actors Dolly Singh, Kusha Kapila and Shibani Bedi star in pivotal roles in the film, which hit the screens Friday.
Kapila, who previously acted in movies such as 바카라Sukhee바카라, 바카라Selfiee바카라, and 바카라Ghost Stories바카라, said it was the first time she received a bound script.
바카라Many times, when we get the film, we don바카라t get the script. We are just called for an audition and are not told anything. There are times when you don바카라t get to see the film before the release.
"This is the first time we were invited for a table reading and we got a bound script, so I knew what I was going to do. We would earlier get synopsis, character sketch only and nothing beyond that. So this is a milestone for me,바카라 Kapila, 34, said.
Bedi said she realised her character has an important part in the story after reading the script.
바카라When we heard the script, we felt it was more than just a side character. Every character is important, adding something to the story and has a beautiful arc. Besides, it is really funny,바카라 the 37-year-old actor said.
Singh, 30, said she could relate to the story of "Thank You For Coming".
바카라After giving two to four rounds of auditions, then you get an idea about the story and the character. I was like, 바카라This is so funny. When I was finalised and I got the script, which was written by two girls, it felt as if it was my story,바카라 she added.
"Thank You For Coming" is produced by Rhea Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor.
