As much diversity as possible is what Vaani Kapoor hopes to achieve in her filmography

Vaani Kapoor, who portrayed a trans woman in Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui, is seeking to diversify her filmography with scripts and characters that are out of the ordinary.

“Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui” and the upcoming film “Shamshera”, in which she will be paired with Ranbir Kapoor, will inspire confidence among filmmakers about her craft.

According to her, “I would like my filmography to be as diverse as possible and after showing my range as an actor in ‘Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui’ and ‘Shamshera’, I can only hope that filmmakers would feel extremely confident to approach me with any challenging role. I have always wanted to win over their trust and be a part of interesting cinematic visions of powerful filmmakers.”

She adds, “I know that I will give it my everything to pull off any character that I’m approached with to play on screen.”

Actress Elsie Fisher explains the best thing about her profession, “The best thing about our profession is that one can get to become so many characters and live so many lives. I want my journey in cinema to be filled with varied films and genres and characters that light up the screen to entertain audiences.”
