Deepika Is Similar To ‘Lafangey Parindey’ Heroine Deepika Padukone

For the first time ever, Deepika has shed her super glamorous image and she will be seen as a blind, ambitious and confident dancer in the movie ‘Lafangey Parindey’. Deepika says that she finds herself very close to the character of the heroine, ‘Pinky’ in the film.

Acting blind and dancing with great confidence on roller skates is the new Deepika. It is her first time experience in such a role and she is happy over the fact that she was successful in taking the role fully.

She relates herself to the role and says that even she is like ‘Pinky’ of the movie, so much confident, arduous and non-relinquishing. Whatever may be the situation, she succeeds in achieving what she wants.

A confident Deepika narrates, “I think I identify with the character Pinky a lot because Pinky is someone who is extremely self-assured. She is extremely confident, knows exactly what she wants. She is ambitious and she never gives up, which is exactly how I am.

Deepika says that she did a lot of homework for imbibing the character of Pinky and it required a lot of concentration and observance power to get into the role.

She adds, “It took around six months of reading and interacting. Lots of physical movements I had to get use to. It's like feeling things around you without actually being able to see them.”

"We didn't visit any blind school, but all of us met a lot of blind people... it was not just for me but also very important for Neil and the group of friends I am interacting with in the film, even for 'dada' (Sarkar) to see how it is to interact with the blind. So I think it was a group process for all of us.”

She is confident that everyone would accept her as ‘Pinky’ and her efforts would be worth doing in the movie. It will release on August 20.
