“Although I am a sardarni since I was born and brought up in Delhi, I’d say I am refined sardarni. However, in the film I had to play a rough sardarni, so I had to work on my body language and accent,: she says. To get the act right, she got help from none other than her own parents. “I didn’t really inform them that I am using their usual pet dialogues until I actually did. I always had in mind that I’m going to make use of all that I’ve heard from them since my childhood, and add it in my dialogues in the movie!” says Taapsee.
When her parents learned this, they had a nice laugh. “They were actually happy to know that I get so involved in the characters I am portraying,” she says.
