Mumbai, (IANS) Kriti Sanon has opened up about her role in “Tere Ishq Mein,” calling her character Mukti the most layered and tricky she has ever played.

Taking to her Instagram handle, the ‘Heropanti’ actress shared a video highlighting the rave reviews for her performance in the film and expressed her gratitude, saying, “My heart is full.” In the caption, Kriti expressed heartfelt gratitude for the audience’s response to her performance. She described her role as Mukti as her most layered character to date, emphasizing the complexity and nuance involved. Sanon wrote, “My Heart is Full..The best feeling for an actor is when the audience connects with every little emotion in between the unspoken words of your character. Mukti is probably the most layered and tricky character I’ve played, and when every beat of her heart reaches yours, it becomes ISHK! Thank you for all the ISHK.”

“Tere Ishq Mein,” directed by Aanand L. Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, also starred Dhanush in the lead role. The film follows Mukti, a young woman portrayed by Kriti Sanon, who falls in love with the intense and rebellious Shankar, played by Dhanush. However, circumstances separate them before their romance can fully blossom. The romantic thriller was released in cinemas on November 28 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Kriti had earlier opened up about stepping into the layered and demanding world of her character Mukti. She revealed that shooting the pre-climax and climax scenes for Tere Ishq Mein had been both physically and emotionally draining. “Mutki’s character has a very diverse graph, what she starts from, what she ends up becoming, her choices, her decisions.. there are a lot of layers to what she is doing. A lot is sometimes not said, a lot of justification, a lot of things why she is doing what she is, not said in words.”“There are a lot of really intense scenes, the pre climax and the climax, which are very very long. That was very draining and we shot it for about 5-6 days. Both physically and emotionally those scenes were extremely draining. At times when I went back home it stayed with me, I felt extremely drained. That scene is the peak of emotions and probably the most intense bit of the film, and it pulled me down the most.” Kriti Sanon calls playing Mukti in ‘Tere Ishq Mein’ most layered and tricky’ character she has ever played | MorungExpress | morungexpress.com

Michelle Pfeiffer: Moms are unsung heroes of their families

Mumbai, (IANS): Actress Michelle Pfeiffer has heaped praise on her character Claire’s resilience in the upcoming holiday drama ‘Oh. What. Fun’ and said she connected with the role because she represents so many moms who are the unsung heroes of their families.

Pfeiffer found an immediate spark with Claire, a character she views as both relatable and quietly heroic.

“When I read the script, I immediately connected with Claire because she represents so many moms who are the unsung heroes of their families, especially during the holidays. She's this incredibly capable person who makes everything look effortless,” Pfeiffer said.

She added: “But inside, she's yearning to be seen and appreciated. And what I really loved is that this isn't just another holiday movie. It's really a story about self-discovery and finding your voice all wrapped up in this wonderful comedy.”

Director Michael Showalter secured Pfeiffer as the filmmakers’ first choice, drawn to her star power and how naturally she fit the story.

“Michelle is one of the great actresses of all time,” Showalter says.

“She is the central storyline, the anchor of the movie and, really, of her family. Claire has been preparing for this holiday for months and really looks forward to her kids coming home. She also hopes they will act on the hints she has been dropping to submit her for the Holiday Mom contest sponsored by her favorite daytime talk show, ‘The Zazzy Tims Show.’”

Showalter added: “With their busy lives and loving but complicated relationships with each other and their mom, of course, they do nothing. And this sets in motion the central plot of the movie, which is that she goes off on her own and takes matters into her own hands.”

Directed by Michael Showalter, Oh.What.Fun is about what happens when a mom finally decides to put herself first on her own holiday list.It also features a star-studded cast including Felicity Jones, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Denis Leary. It is now streaming on Prime Video. Michelle Pfeiffer: Moms are unsung heroes of their families | MorungExpress | morungexpress.com
