Talking about her character, the actress said, ‘Manjiri is a simple girl who loves simple things in life. While we portray a character who is so different from us, we take a lot from our personal experiences. For example, Manjiri loves poetry and so do I.”
She then spoke about the writer, who inspires her the most, Gulzar – a towering figure of the Hindi film industry with whom she has worked in her debut movie, ‘Mirzya’.
“I feel poetry gives a deeper meaning to life. Gulzar Sahab’s work is something I absolutely love reading. My bond with him goes back to my first film. I also always make sure I go, hear him whenever he has live shows,” the actress added.
