Vaani Kapoor, who will next be seen in ‘Shamshera,’ says she never chooses films with the intention of winning awards, but rather with her heart. “I have never chosen films with the expectation of winning awards,” Vaani says. “I have always chosen projects that are close to my heart, which is why I’m fortunate to have films like ‘Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui’ in my filmography.”
“It is uncommon to come across a project that can consume you, causing you to dissolve on screen to become someone like Maanvi, she is an idea and an ideal for the world, and I consider myself fortunate to have had the opportunity to play this character with all of my heart and soul”, she added.
She said that if people have loved my performance it’s because the character was written so “beautifully and with so much dignity.”
The actress added: “If I were to win awards, I would dedicate them to the transgender community in India because we wanted to speak about inclusivity. If the film wins or my performance wins, it will show people that mainstream media is embracing this thought of much-needed change. “
Mainstream media has the ability to transform societies, causing them to evolve and improve. But, once again, we did not make the film with awards in mind. It came from the most pure part of Abhishek Kapoor’s heart. He wanted us to enhance our perspectives.” “We made the film to seed a thought about changing oneself, one’s beliefs and ideas about how society is and should be for future generations,” she added.
