Actor Sharvari has made a habit of taking on diverse roles since her debut in 2021's Bunty Aur Babli 2. Her next, Main Vaapas Aaunga, is a period romance directed by Imtiaz Ali, pairing her opposite Vedang Raina.
Main Vaapas Aaunga tells the tale of two lovers whose love story is cut short by the Partition of India. Sharvari says, “A lot is said in the unspoken, and that is something we don’t imbibe. But the beauty of that era is that so little is said, yet it makes such an impact.”
Sharvari admits that being on location in small villages in Punjab’s Sangrur district helped her connect with her character’s stillness, but what really clinched it for her was an antique dresser in the house she stayed at.
“When we stayed in Chural, we stayed in the house with a history. It was almost 150 years old. I remember when we went for the recce, one room was allotted to someone in the crew. I requested that room only because it had a really nice dresser. That was because I didn’t know what it was like to sit in front of a dresser and get ready. I just thought if I do that, I might feel like Jiya (her character). I did my makeup sitting there because I wanted to feel that,” Sharvari tells us.
Main Vaapas Aaunga stars Diljit Dosanjh and Naseeruddin Shah alongside Vedang and Sharvari. The film, directed by Imtiaz Ali, will release in theatres on June 12. Sharvari will then be seen in YRF spy thriller Alpha, which also stars Alia Bhatt, Bobby Deol, and Anil Kapoor.
