When Deepika Padukone unveiled her look in “Chhapaak”, based on the life of an acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal, people saw the beautiful actress’ decision to do the film as “gutsy”, “brave” and “life-altering”. Deepika, who has also turned a producer with the Meghna Gulzar directorial, says she did not think about her appearance in it and how people would react to her “different look”.
Apart from her talent, the audience and her fans have been in awe of her beautiful face. Asked if she saw “Chhapaak” in which she plays an acid attack survivor, as a risky film as she looks different, Deepika said “No, it is not something that ever crossed my mind… my appearance, the way I am going to look. That is precisely what we want to challenge through this film.
The film’s team has women calling the shots. What was it like working on a film set full of powerful women? “Gender has never figured in my scheme of things. I am not doing ‘Chhapaak’ because it is by a female director. I am doing it because I have faith in Meghna,” she said.
