Vaani Kapoor, a popular Bollywood actress, has openly said that she wants to take on action-oriented and strong roles. She recently impressed audiences with her performance as a police officer in the series Mandala Murders. Now, she says she is ready to portray similar roles on the big screen.
In the past, female actors were often seen as glamorous figures in films. Their roles were highlighted through a few songs or romantic scenes, and that was enough to make them memorable. But times are changing. Today, actresses are gaining recognition for roles that require real acting skills rather than just glamour.
Vaani shared that she is very selective about the roles she chooses. She prefers to commit only to characters that she genuinely likes. Even if a big opportunity comes her way, she is willing to turn it down if the role does not appeal to her. She believes that a strong character, even if it is a small role, can leave a lasting impact on audiences.
She also mentioned the iconic actresses Madhuri Dixit and Sridevi, recalling how their powerful roles in the 1980s and 1990s made them unforgettable. Vaani aspires to follow in their footsteps and shine through strong, meaningful performances.
Vaani expressed her excitement about acting in major action films and revealed that she would love to share the screen with Katrina Kaif, who she enjoys performing action scenes with.
Currently, Vaani Kapoor is working on two Bollywood films, Sarvagun Sampanna and Bed Thamiz Gil. She continues to focus on roles that challenge her as an actress and showcase her talent beyond traditional glamour.
This shift in the industry shows that actresses today are not just eye candy but strong performers seeking roles that allow them to demonstrate their acting range and leave a mark on audiences.
