Bollywood's most power-packed performer and actress Swara Bhasker says her "Veere Di Wedding" co-star Kareena Kapoor Khan is an inspiration for all working girls. Swara donned the role of a radio jockey as ‘BIG MJ of the Week'. During a conversation with BIG MJ Dilip, the actress talked about Kareena and more, read a statement.
"She (Kareena) is an inspiration for the working girls. She has proved that one can have a successful career along with enjoying their personal life. The way she has managed both her professional and personal life is simply amazing," Swara said.
Asked which biography she would like to work in, she said: "I would like to do a biography of Madhubalaji, if one is ever made on this iconic Bollywood actress. If any biography is made on any historical figure, I would like to do the role of Indira Gandhi."
Along with Swara and Kareena, Rhea Kapoor's Veere Di Wedding also starred Shikha Talsania and Sonam Kapoor Ahuja. The all actress film earned big at the box office and worked like a wonder amongst the audience. Swara will next be seen in It's Not That Simple.
The 30-year-old actor's body of work comfortably aligns with her feminist beliefs. However, it becomes tricky when she features in "Veere Di Wedding" and her choice is questioned from a feminist lens. "I think 'Veere' furthers the feminist cause in a very round about way, by showing four girls in all their flaws, doing their own thing. It's giving space to women for making mistakes, mess up and figure out themselves," Swara says.
The actor says, unlike "Veere", her latest web series "It's Not That Simple" season two delves into a female psyche. "This is a very mature series. It delves into more details than perhaps a commercial film can. It talks about a single mother waiting to get divorced, having two affairs emotionally," she adds. Directed by Danish Aslam, the Voot original revolves around a modern day woman Meera (played by Swara) and addresses power play, gender roles and infidelity.
