Summary
- Deepika Padukone is measured in her performances, measuring spontaneous reactions.
- Konkona Sen Sharma makes acting look easy with quick character immersion.
- Gulzar directed Padukone in Chhapaak and Sen Sharma in Talvar.
Director Meghna Gulzar recently shared her admiration for the acting capabilities of Deepika Padukone and Konkona Sen Sharma. Reflecting on their work in films Gulzar directed, she described Padukone's performances as consistently measured, emphasizing how the actress thoughtfully calibrates spontaneous reactions to add depth, particularly in emotionally demanding roles like in 'Chhapaak.'
Gulzar also praised Konkona Sen Sharma's acting as appearing almost effortless. She recalled an instance during the filming of 'Talvar' where Sen Sharma delivered a powerful, heartbreaking performance in freezing temperatures, only to transition out of character immediately afterward. Gulzar's directorial work with Padukone was in the 2020 film 'Chhapaak,' inspired by acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. Her collaboration with Sen Sharma was in 'Talvar,' a film based on the 2008 Noida double murder case.
