Dipika Chikhlia Slams Adipurush
Dipika Chikhlia who has been known for her role as “Sita” in Ramanand Sagar’s television series Ramayan recently shared her reaction on Om Raut’s film Adipurush’s teaser which has apparently been criticized for the portrayal of it’s characters with resemblance to Muslim looks than Hindu’s.
Commenting on the same Dipika told AajTak, “A film’s characters must appeal to the audience. If the character is from Sri Lanka, they should not look like Mughals. I could not understand much as we get to see him for mere 30 seconds in the teaser, but he does look different. I agree that times have changed and VFX is an essential part but only as long as the people’s sentiments are not hurt. (But then) It is only a teaser, may be it does not do justice to the film.”
She added, “If I try to connect myself with Arvind Trivedi (Ravan in Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan), I would not feel good. But I also believe each actor has the liberty to portray a character as their interpretation.”
