In a jaw-dropping revelation that has left fans stunned, the ever-iconic Shabana Azmi opens up about her groundbreaking role in the much-anticipated film, ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’. The veteran actor, known for her powerful portrayals of strong women, has taken on a role that has caught everyone off-guard.
“Why is this so surprising?” Azmi questioned in her recent interview with PTI. The actress expressed her astonishment at the wave of comments pouring in, exclaiming, “Oh wow, we would have never imagined you in this kind of role.” She delves deeper, challenging stereotypes and societal perceptions, stating, “You’re not prepared for it in any way at all… But I am like ‘Why is this so surprising’… An actor who has a strong woman image, why is it not possible that she can also be a romantic person? It’s not like strong women don’t have any romantic bones in their body.”
Azmi’s fervent defense of her portrayal brings to light the delightful complexity of her character’s romantic escapades in the film. “It’s the deliciousness of it that has taken people by surprise and they just adore it,” she reveals, her voice tinged with both confidence and satisfaction. “It’s the younger generation that’s really doing all the clapping and cheering.”
However, what truly caught everyone off-guard is the steamy and passionate kiss shared between Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra in the film. Azmi candidly shares, “I never thought it would create such a fuss! People are laughing and cheering when we do kiss.” It seems like the actress had a blast while shooting the scene, showing her readiness to embrace unconventional moments on screen.
But what about Azmi’s personal life? The legendary actress, known for her commitment to social causes and her fiery persona, sheds light on her husband’s reaction. “Oh, he was not bothered,” Azmi chuckles, “But what bothered him was my rowdy behavior. Throughout the film, I was applauding, whistling, cheering, and shouting. He was like, ‘I don’t know this woman sitting next to me.’ I went insane with excitement.”
