To mark International Women's Day, Bollywood debutant Sharvari, who will be seen opposite Siddhant Chaturvedi in 'Bunty Aur Babli 2', has posted a heartfelt wish for her screen idol Rani Mukerji on Monday. Sharvari credited Rani for giving audiences, including her, some of the most memorable women role models through Rani's choice of characters.
Sharvari took to her Instagram story and posted a picture with the 'Mardaani' star. Alongside the picture, she wrote, "I have idolised a lot of women characters who I have seen on the big screen and invariably most of those women have been played by none other than Rani ma'am! So, on women's day, this is my appreciation post for her. Thank you for inspiring me to be an actor."
"It was such a dream come true for me! Happy women's day to all the babli's out there!" she concluded.
Sharvari's debut is touted to be one of the biggest launches in Bollywood this year. 'Bunty Aur Babli 2', produced by Yash Raj Films, is set to release on April 23. Sharvari and Rani will share the screen together in the film as well. The film, in an exciting casting coup, also reunites Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji and will present them as the original 'Bunty Aur Babli'.
As for Rani, on Monday, the actor opened up about how women should ensure to support more women in every department of film-making in the male-driven Indian film industry.
The 42-year-old actor, who has presented audiences with some of the most loved women protagonists on screen, through her performances in films like 'Black', 'Hichki', 'Mardaani', 'No One Killed Jessica', among many others, spoke about why women need to empower each other more in cinema.
"In my journey in the Hindi film industry, I have realised that the power is with the women to change the perception about how women are represented in every aspect of film-making. We have to support each other, root for each other, and empower each other so that the road is smoother for others who want to make a name for themselves in the male-driven industry," Rani said.
