Shabana Azmi, hailed as one of India’s most exceptional actors, continues to enchant audiences even at the age of 73. Her recent performance in Karan Johar’s film, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, alongside Dharmendra, has captured the hearts of thousands.
Karan Johar recently compared Shabana Azmi to the Hollywood icon Meryl Streep. He also reminisced about a discussion he had with Azmi concerning makeup during the filming of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. This topic arose during a conversation with Hollywood star Charlize Theron at an event.
While discussing how filmmakers insist on maintaining their actors’ flawless appearances, even in seemingly unnecessary situations, Charlize Theron humorously expressed her surprise at being handed lipstick after falling off a truck. Karan responded by saying that makeup is essential for characters in his movie.
Karan likened Shabana Azmi to Meryl Streep. Opening up about the funeral scene in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, he shared that Azmi did not want to keep makeup on. “She says, ‘Please can you allow me to remove my makeup here? Someone just died.’ I was like, ‘Well not too much of it. Because the lenses are sharp, and I don’t want you to look a certain way.’ She said there is no reality. I said I am not going for it,” the filmmaker shared.
