I couldn’t be happier,” said Gulzar

Speaking about her experience of working with Gulzar, Chhapaak's lead Deepika Padukone told SheThePeople in an exclusive interview, "We found a beautiful balance between her guiding me half of the way and letting me find my process for the other half. That’s how we managed to achieve part Laxmi and part Deepika. Without really discussing it too much, I kind of knew what Meghna wanted and she didn’t overdirect. She had enough faith in me as an actor." Read her interview here.
